<div property="schema:text" class="clearfix text-formatted field field-node--body field-formatter-text-default field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div property="schema:text" class="field__item"><p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Higher%20Dimensions%20%281%29.jpg" width="300" />In 1973 the acclaimed mystic Ingo Swann astrally 'travelled' to Jupiter and reported it had rings around in a similar way to Saturn. The science community ridiculed him. That was until 6 years later, when in 1979 the space probe Voyager physically travelled there and photographed what he saw! Those who were with him when he did it, said he got there in around 3 minutes. We can say that the entirety of the Universe is within, and what we see on the outside is merely a reflection of where our consciousness is at on the inside. So as we contemplate the possibility of the New Paradigm on higher planes, we don't have to wait. It is right there, right now.</p>
<p><strong><em>And as we travel into it, the perceptions cascade into our 3D reality...</em></strong></p>
<!--break--><h3>How and Why to travel to Higher Dimensions?</h3>
<p>According to quantum science we live in 11 dimensions of reality. Generally I agree from the experience of travelling within. Although I prefer to call them 'densities of existence'. They're energetic frequencies of being.</p>
<p>"The entirety of the Universe is within you." How is this possible?</p>
<p>Contemplate the Big bang. How could it actually explode outwards if there was nothing to explode into?</p>
<p>It's a paradox. It exploded BOTH outwards AND inwards at the same time thus creating the illusion of space-time. And what you would have perceived of it, as the Observer, would depend on where you were looking from - either outside in, or inside out. It's an essential philosophy for anyone wishing to deepen their journey through higher dimensions of consciousness right now - expanding 'outwards/upwards' by going deeper inwards. Especially as the Earth and our Solar System home are shifting to higher frequencies of existence.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>You might ask, "why bother travelling into higher dimensions anyway?" Especially if you enjoy 3D living or have 3D objectives - career, relationships, general living circumstances. The point is that ALL the dimensions interrelate and reality cascades downwards from the source. So we're ALREADY being influenced in this way. Even though society has created a temporary fixed eddy current in the flow - "this is how it's going to be today" - nevertheless, as persistent as the old construct may at times seem, it is currently being unravelled by the higher dimensional influx. It accelerates now especially because humanity is out of this greater alignment. So there's every encouragement to step back into the universal fold.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The essential thing is not to wait for the this to happen, in the vain hope that you'll somehow be swept up in the current by some tremendous <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/pole-shift-update-event-earth-catastrophe-and-5d-shift" target="_float">"Plasma Shift Event"</a></strong> (as is being expressed in some spiritual circles). Whatever happens, you will still have to do the diligent inner work yourself. Yes there will be great events in The Shift, whole realities will come and go, especially as our Solar Logos transforms all around it. But to ride this shift, is to get on board right now, and make the transition through all the subtle inner layers. And that means to go deep within.</p>
<p><strong><em>What will you see?</em></strong></p>
<p><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/The%20Inner%20Shire%20-%201.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<h3>Perceptions of Higher Realities</h3>
<p>Humanity is coming from a place of the 3D, where everything is perceived as being outside. If we want to travel through space to another planet or star system, you laboriously build a rocket and take years of time to get there. The irony is that you could spend a whole lot less and go inwards!</p>
<blockquote><p><em>As you go inwards, the paradox is that you're actually going outwards too. Or more accurately, you start to embrace further and further afield, within yourself.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>You'll start to pick up subtle inner interplays, perceptions and senses, which in the beginning, don't necessarily seem to make any sense. But as you put more attention on them, it's what happens when these cascade into your physical reality where it gets really interesting - the signs and synchronicities build pictures in the outer of where your inner movement is shifting and travelling. And it also becomes possible to start to see the inner landscapes too, without having to look out into the 3D world -</p>
<p>Here's a sense for example of <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5d-shift-what-will-new-5d-paradigm-look" target="_float">what the New 5D Paradigm will look like</a></strong>.</p>
<h3>A View on How to Conduct The Inner Journey</h3>
<p>As you go inwards, first you'll confront the denser layers of the physical, emotional and mental bodies (1D, 2D, 3D). These tend to be extremely noisy in the beginning - think of the physical body, it has 3 trillion cells, which can be screaming out, especially if we're pumping it with dense processed foods and electrosmog. The point being, that the noisier these outer layers are, the harder it is to pick up the subtle vibrations of the inner/higher layers.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation" target="_float"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide02_34.jpg" width="300" /></a>Meditation is the key. Which includes bodywork, because this helps soften, make more pliable, and align the physical aspect. Thus when you sit in stillness, you can soften through the physical layers more easily. Then there's the emotional body. Where there is worry, fear, desire, neediness or the requirement for security and safety, in this lower physical density, then this vehicle too will be pretty noisy, and so the need or fear of a particular outcome must be surrendered. We must confront what progressively comes up.</p>
<p><strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/living-the-5d-shift-daily-process-of-karmic-processing" target="_float">Explore this Openhand Breakthrough Approach for Processing Inner Tightness</a></strong></p>
<p>We'll then come deeper into the plane of subconscious mind in the 3rd Density. This is where it becomes essential to give up intention - other than an aligned one to expand into the fullness of who you are. Intention is another dense vibration that overwrites the natural flow. If your intention is aligned with the flow - to travel to Jupiter for example - then that's cool, you'll amplify the effect. But if you're intending to get something, the risk is to override the soul, which might be yearning to inquire into something else. Put simply, the soul might instead be inviting you into the New Paradigm in the 5th Density, which you override if you're intentioning something else in the lower planes.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/multi-dimensional-kundalini-activation-download-meditation" target="_float"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Multidimensional.jpg" width="350" /></a>You'll then come into the 4D "pain body", which can literally be felt as tightness and pain - as contractions. This will relate to karma, and it tends to limit the expansion into other densities so must be processed as much as possible first. You can still expand into higher dimensions, but 4D karma will limit the effect. So work to expand through and around this layer, yes, but also pay plenty of attention to unwinding it through expression and release. The more you're able to work through the pain body and unwind it, this will then be like taking the lid off into the higher planes of existence.</p>
<h3>Travelling in Higher Densities of the 5D/6D/7D</h3>
<p>Intially at least, what you pick up of the higher densities will mostly be subtle perceptions, flickers of consciousness. It would be easy to disregard these and it's essential we don't. The whole of the Universe cascades down through you like a multidimensional waterfall. Humanity has created a temporary eddy current in the 3D, which seems kind of solid and fixed, impermeable to higher subtle frequencies, but that would be an illusion of space-time. Everything is interconnected. And therefore if you're interested in resolving disharmony in your 3D life, in your relationships, careers and general living circumstances, then catching the subtle inner flow will greatly help you. You'll have to give up intention though - for things to be "this way or that". As you surrender, then the subtle perceptions become more available and you amplify them by paying attention to them in meditation. You become more able to embody them as a way of being. Then you find yourself being guided more to mirroring crystallisations in the outer.</p>
<p><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Trust%20in%20Stillness%20-%201.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<blockquote><p><em>To give an example, I was looking for a new retreat centre to work from in Australia, my sense being the Byron Bay area, as I've always felt a strong soul resonance with that location. So I meditated on it first. Felt the movement of subtle energies, and then asked, "show me!" A short while later, by a 'chance coincidence', I heard of a new place called "Rising Phoenix" in Mullumbimby, just outside Byron. But I still wasn't sure if it was the right place - the knowing of it didn't land immediately. So I simply held the inquiry.</em></p>
<p><em>A couple of weeks later, I was out in a shopping centre near my home. At one point, a subtle 5D/4D flow took a hold of me, which would have been easy to miss, had intentions and objectives been flowing through 3D mind. So I picked up the flow as it guided me very carefully: a couple of steps this way, a couple that. If I crossed the boundary of the aligned movement, then the synchronistic interplay would switch off. So I'd keep feeling into the boundaries and following the subtle shifts. Yes it would have looked a touch odd to the shoppers around me! But this is where you have to let go of small self consciousness. And so I persisted.</em></p>
<p><em>The very final movement had me gently turn through 90 degrees and then raise my head. I stood motionless and overcome. There in front of me on the wall of the shopping centre was a marvellous carving of a Rising Phoenix!</em></p>

<h3>When the Higher Consciousness Rattles You To Your Bones</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/events" target="_float"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/5G_Retreat_Main_Image_0.jpg" width="300" /></a></p>
<p>I felt the resonance rattle me through my bones. It's a wonderful expample of how the inner world cascades through into this one. And in the higher dimensions, are a whole array of guides, supporters and cosmic soul family. You won't necessarily "see" them with 3D eyes when you venture inwards. But if you patiently persist, you will pick up the perceptions. Which if you follow in the outer 3D world, builds as <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/consciousness-landscape">a multidimensional landscape</a></strong> of signs and synchronicity. It's a joyful, and greatly successful, interplay that I would commend to everyone.</p>
<p>This is the great value, pleasure and sheer joy of "Living the Shift" right now. You find there are solutions in your 3D life you couldn't possibly have imagined. It's the great value of the Inner Journey which I'd reccommend to all in these profound times of great change.</p>

And it can result in a strengthening of sexual desire that wants to be fulfilled. But that doesn't necessarily mean it's right for it to be expressed sexually, perhaps because the situation isn't right for it, or else a potential partner isn't available, or because the energy is meant to be contained and expressed in a different way, which can then become amazingly creative in your life. You may contain it and embody it, through particular practices of 'tantra'...</p>
<!--break--><h3>Released Kundalini that Feels Sexual</h3>
<p>Released kundalini energy might feel very sexual, but there is often a fine dividing line between this and purely creative energy - the two are very closely related. So what you may well find, is that by working to contain the feelings within, without necessarily expressing sexually, that you start to draw all manner of reflective manifestations in the field around you: a beautiful bird for example or some other creature in nature; powerful life-changing synchronicities; you may witness clouds shaping synchronistically in the heavens; and <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Transitioning-to-5D-Consciousness-What-do-You-Focus-on">5D connections forming</a></strong> with new people and creative situations coming into your life. </p>
<blockquote><p><em>One essential aspect of activating kundalini and containing it, is that you'll likely start seeing plentiful <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/connecting_with_our_twin_flame">reflections of your Twin Flame around you</a></strong>. In the Openhand Approach, the Twin Flame does not physically incarnate. Rather it is the other polarity of the soul, which takes shape near the source, as the soul starts to flow into form - as it incarnates. So at this point, the soul notionally subdivides into two, one part - the Twin Flame - staying close to the source, and the other incarnating. When the soul is active and integrated enough within the incarnated journey, the Twin Flame then begins to generate reflections in the field around the incarnated soul, thus acting as 'homing beacon', drawing the soul through life - <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Finding_Nirvana_Aligning_Yourself_with_the_Universal_Flow">through the Universal Torus</a></strong> - inviting deeper integration and therefore progressive 'ascension' back to the source (an inner journey which is reflected into the outer world).</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The question is, how to master this movement when it might feel mainly sexual, but the sexual urges aren't necessarily being reciprocated or there are no immediate circumstances for full sexual expression?</p>
<h3>An Outline Practice of Tantra</h3>
<p>This is where the practice of 'tantra' becomes essential, which to me, is essentially transcending the physical experience by penetrating through it with awareness and bringing the expressed energy fully back inside yourself.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Essentially you allow the kundalini energy to flow, supported by daily spiritual practice (<strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_breakthrough_breathing_meditation">parnic breathing for example</a></strong>); you might then witness someone who activates sexual urges in you, but where there's not necessarily opportunity for that to be fulfilled. Nevertheless you may allow the feelings to flow, but being clear to bring the cycle of energy back within yourself. How to do this? It is the recognition that any kind of sexual fulfillment - orgasm for example - is generated by the sense of completeness that happens within you. It's as if the realised aspect of yourself is meeting and uniting with the unrealised aspect right back at the source - you're essentially having a unification process with your Twin Flame. Which is why it can feel so remarkable. But you do have to practice bringing the energy back inside and not attaching to the external subject. You let it flow out with the expression of your desire, but working to stay completely present and bringing the energy back to you in a cycle. You literally feel the embodiment of the energy within yourself. This can be practiced in actual sexual intimacy with a partner or by self pleasuring - being attentive during release to bring the cycle of consciousness back to the completeness of the source within. But as I've expressed, this tantric practice is not limited merely to sexual intimacy.</em></p>
</blockquote>

<p><strong>Please note:</strong> It's also essential to add, that if an external reflection in someone is generating sexual desire within you, but the person is not reciprocating, not to be imagining that you are sexually fulfilling with them through this tantric containment practice - the risk being that you generate unwelcome energetic connections through the field with them anyway, which would then be an invasion of privacy and the other person's sovereignty. But it maybe that the reflections you see create an imaginary vision not related to the subject, which can then be fine to express sexually, through self pleasuring, in a divinely sacred manner - it not just being about sexuality, but deeply expressed sensuality, connecting widely through the senses, being gentle and sensitive with oneself.<br />

<h3>Where blockages created distorted Tantric Experience</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide02_34.jpg" width="350" /></a>This form of tantra is highly advanced, and the movement of energy is likely to reveal internal blockages, such as in the sacrum for example, where unrealised soul might be attaching in relationship. If you notice this happening, it's essential to strengthen your chakra attunement practices, but also being clear to work in daily life where attachment may be arising - it's about softening into the blockage, exploring where there might be subconscious need, bringing this into awareness and realising the completeness of the One that you already are.<br />
<strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation">Sample this Openhand Chakra Opening and Attunement Meditation to support your practice</a></strong></p>
<p>It's also essential to note, that distorted expression of releasing kundalini energy, which then sticks within particular chakras - such as the base for example - can allow in interdimenssional entities, which then wish to exploit and harness the releasing energy. I've experienced them feeding purely sexual desire so as to harness this energy - which is one of the highest forms of divine energy - hence the risk of becoming a target. It's essential therefore to be vigilant, totally conscious and aware in your own field, and always looking for aligned expression - the feeling and sense of rightness within how you express, and particularly sexually.<br />

<h3>Practicing Tantra in Life</h3>
<p>If we can master holding the rising kundalini, without necessarily having to express sexually, but then transmute inappropriate desire progressively into internal embodiment of the completion of the energy, then you'll increasingly find that the energy is integrated into your field and life, to be expressed magically in countless ways: when you eat food for example, you fully taste it, being fully present with it, yet again, the delight of actually tasting and fulfilling as consuming, is embodied by witnessing the sense of completion within you as you eat. </p>
<blockquote><p><em><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Kundalini%20Tantra.jpg" width="300" />If we practice this tantric approach, then you're highly likely to witness reflections of your Twin Flame progressively all around you in life: in nature, in songs and music, in the twinkle of a persons eye, in the sign on an advertising billboard. You witness something, feel the arising of energy, but then embody it as a sense of fulfilled completeness in the moment. It feels utterly divine, like you're constantly living with divine presence - the fulfillment of you - all around you. Not only does it feel magical, but the contained internal potential, becomes a powerful creative manifesting engine in your life.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This embodied tantric energy is then 'normalised' within you. It becomes a way of living, where life is dancing around you, continually creating, and being fulfilled as a sense of completeness within. It can be expressed sexually, but doesn't have to be. It is simply creative. Simply divine. I encourage all who resonate with my sharing to explore along the lines I've expressed, but in a way that feels appropriate for you.</p>

<p>I'm so glad that my simple comment inspired you to write an entire article. I feel I'm taking baby steps through these but still I could resonate with most of what you shared. It also helped me to have an overview of what I was already dealing with</p>
<p>Like you say in the article, I feel this sexual urges towards someone who is reciprocating. But the situations are not at all favourable. I openly and honestly shared with her which revealed a lot of attachment she was holding onto which stems from a lack of acceptance of her situations. It also showed me some expectation because of a lack of trust in the divine. I guess the relation transformed from something merely sexual to something more meaningful, divine. Though I would have liked the emotions to stay. I guess this is what you mean by bringing the energy back into oneself. </p>
<p>I have also experienced in the past intimacy towards others who Im sure where not reciprocating. I don't understand how it can be a breaching of one's privacy and soveigrenity. But one time, this particular girl surprisingly unintentionally moved away from my landscape. And I felt I may have violated some boundaries but within my mind.</p>
<p>Much love ❤️</p>
<p>Vimal </p>

<p>In sexual union, or even when contemplating the potential of it with another, energy fields can begin to be connected. That's why I felt it important to express the be careful about invading someone else's field where the feelings are not reciprocated. Essentially you probably wouldn't want that to happen to you - energies cam get entwined in your field if your not being careful to continually cleanse your field and align it with your own vibration - being fully sovereign. Ultimately it's our own responsibility to be that, but where someone isn't fully conscious and integrated in this way, it just risks imposing on their field. Maybe that's why you experienced the synchronicity of her moving away.</p>
<p>Wishing you well</p>

<p dir="ltr">Hi Open,</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for the questions. Yes it's most definetly karma - probably persecuted in a past life for a sexual expression, forced against my will or something like that</p>
<p dir="ltr">In this life time I experience the karma as conditioning from parents, my mother mostly and our culture in general. I was told from an early age not to fall for a girl or somethibg bad might happen. My sexuality and self pleasuring was shamed. So I kept shoving it in in order to avoid judgement. I'm afraid to openly express my feelings, needs and love to my parents. I can't definetly blame them because I have heard from the stories that she was conditioned even more intensively by her mother. So the blame wouldn't end anywhere.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I see the universe has perfectly crafted the right situations in my life to experience these constrictions now. Here you either don't talk to each other or you get married. Anything in between is met with disapproving look. I'm afraid of the sexual movement because I'm afraid of hurting the other person, giving false hope. So if the movement doesn't have any future why express it at all. It would have undesirable consequence like taking away my freedom. There is also attaching to physical form, perfectionism etc.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I had a dream yesterday in which I'm travelling through air in a chair. I kept avoiding the various bolder and breaking down many barbed fences when they stood in my way. I finally reach a house and I'm thinking how to stop this journey. It comes to mind that I don't have to because it's just a dream. And I wake up. My first thought was that the fences might be boundaries im violating. But I think it might be the various conditioning that I'm breaking down inside and I don't have to stop at all. Because it's all an illusion anyway!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Another intriguing and unusual thing happened today. A relative came to visit who was always disapproving of my ways from the beginning. He was telling my apparent in the other room that I must be taken for consultation and he would arrange for it. I was meditating in my room and my heart kept beating wildly. I kept breathing and opening into it and could really only feel love for them who has come together in various ways to provide me with this opportunity of karmic exploration. I don't know if I have broken through the pain but I feel light and relaxed now. This relative kept saying in the conversation that I need to convince others that I'm right!! I guess he was trying to prove himself right. I was laughing inside remembering what you said - "being you might rattle the cages of those around you". Well I agreed to visit the psychiatrist or consultant, it would be fun. But I hope I don't get injected with anything against my will! 😁</p>
<p dir="ltr">Thanks for reading<br />
Lots of love ♥️🙏<br />
Vimal</p>

<p>It's great that you're having the deep and continued exploration <img alt="Thumbs Up Sign" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Thumbs_Up_Sign_Emoji_Icon_ios10.png" title="Thumbs Up Sign" width="19" /></p>
<p>A few strong alarm bells are ringing though, which I felt to reflect. Firstly, in many of your posts, it seems to me that you tend to refer and involve your inquiries with your parents a fair deal - is that right? Yet at the same time, you also express how they don't necessarily support your spiritual journey or inquiries - is that right? If that's the case, I feel to ask... why do you feel the need to consult with them and involve them so much? (as it seems to me you may be doing).</p>
<p>I do understand there's strong cultural connections in your environment, but I do get the sense you're potentially involving them too much in a journey which they're not probably able to fully get, understand or fully empathise with. </p>
<p>The second alarm bell is allowing others in the family group to then recommend you see a psychiatrist - for what purpose? Because you disagree with their version of reality, because you follow a unique path? My experience of the 'system' is that it can be quite dangerous to those on the spiritual path - there's frequently little or no recognition of soul, and so practices often tend to try to reconfigure the mind, which can be limited, conditioning and dangerous - and yes, often prescription medication is recommended in a lot of cases where people don't conform.</p>
<p>I feel a strong sense to urge you to take more sovereignty with your journey - especially where your family is concerned.<br />
And to set more positive boundaries in terms of who you let into your process - the risk being to take you down pathways that really don't serve your soul.</p>
<p>Wishing you well</p>

<p dir="ltr">Open, I think you have misunderstood some of the things I said. But you maybe right I allow them into my field. I wonder if its a need for approval? . Ofcourse I understand its my unique journey and none of family can relate with it. I don't talk with them about spirituality at all. But in this particular case if it allowed me to confront with a tightness I had in my heart. How is it necessarily giving away my sovereignity. It maybe diplomacy. Maybe there was a risk on elaborating my 'story' here. I said it as something funny which doesn't affect me at all. I can say No anytime, the power lies within me. I just thought it would be fun! Didnt you we the smiley at the end?! 😁<br />
Yes most of my exploration are where my family are involved. That is because I live and love amongst them and I'm confronting a lot of childhood conditioning. So how would it be positive not to involve them? . I feel that I'm continuity exploring and creating firm boundaries with them and have plenty of space. And I don't consult with them at all! But you maybe right I maybe pulling them in in order for more connection.</p>

<p dir="ltr">Open another thing I wanted to say is the need for approval from paternal figure. I feel this is a big exploration of mine and its karmic. I have experienced in this lifetime as rejection from father figure upon incarnation here. I know I project this onto you and maybe you can see it too. When I come here I'm pulled in two direction, either I become temporarily high or down into despair. I'm been exploring this for a long time and I really want to get out from this. I'm only sharing and becoming vulnerable here in hope of an opening into this pain. Ultimately that's all I'm looking for even though I walk into blind alley sometimes. When I write here it is tainted by this filter. Even in day today life i tend to conform unconsciously to the likes of my father - someone who is unnaturally calm. There is a tightness in my throat when I write this down.</p>

<p>I have to say I didn't respond with the family perspective because of just this latest post - to me, it's been a constant theme there in the background for some considerable time. I find myself often asking... "why are you still so concerned about family and what they might think?" It's just a general impression that's come across through the ether. But if you genuninely feel I'm mistaken, then it could be the case. Although usually when I 'see some smoke', there's a degree of fire behind it.</p>
<p>It's also good that you're honest about projecting the paternal figure onto me. I don't have a problem with it, that kind of thing happens all the time. The important thing is that you're owning it. And I think it's really positive to feel both attraction and a degree of 'repulsion'. I'm happy that we're probably reflecting both sides of the same coin - an invitation to stay connected, yet draw clear boundaries about what exactly is your truth.</p>
<p>I say this to you and to everyone, Openhand 'intentionally' (because it tends to naturally happen) acts as a mirror to bring things into awareness. It is NOT saying 'this' or 'that' is the truth. What is offered is more a framework for inquiry - a perspective in which to explore.</p>
<p>Wishing you well</p>

<p dir="ltr">Open, it's very synchronistic that you put the commentnow because I was going to reply something along the same theme. Which is<br />
Now that I have gone through the pain a fair deal, in retrospect I see how all of this is perfectly configured by the flow to reveal the various attachments. It's beautiful. It means we can never be wrong. So trust in the flow is essential. Open if I'm not invading on your privacy could I ask out of curiosity, can you read where the flow is heading beforehand? Like in this case for instance. What can you possibly learn from these simple conversations.?<br />
I'm amazed by the timing of the flow.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I still think you may have misunderstood somethings I have written and it's probably because I eloborated a single day's story without what was leading upto it. But you were also right on this concern about what my family thinks specially in my sexuality and to whom I'm engaging with. The smoke has been lifted, I can see a bit more clearly. I will be more aware within family interaction where I'mosing my soveigrenity.</p>
<p dir="ltr">I was a bit doubtful of inviting you into my stuff but apparently not. Though I don't understand what you mean by two sides of the same coin</p>

No. Not exactly. But I am 100% committed to being in the flow in this moment, all the time. I don't let ANYTHING stop me. Because I've journied enough to know that everything else is illusion. Wherever there is any tightness, that is ignored, it leads to living in the illusion and I can't see the point of that - except as a means to discover there is no point to it!</p>
<p>I don't think about what I write, nor do I use logic to ask the questions I do. They come out of the ether and I recognise them as the inquiry of the moment - what's being invited to be explored. When you do this, you align with the magic and mystery that is connecting around us and clicking in around us. You and I - plus others - have ALREADY aligned this inquiry 'in the heavens'. Now lower mind is simply catching up - that's why it may look like one is reading the future. What you're actually reading is 'future-landing-now', in this moment, without any time delay or warping of lower mind and distortion (or relatively little at least).</p>

Thank you for opening to that. At the same time I know this to be sensitive and taboo area even to the evolving souls because there is so much distortions/karma around it accumulated in this lifetime, stretching to other lifetimes and beyond.</p>
<p>For me, this is also an important subject for exploration and growth as it is challenging and offering opportunity for evolution. I started exploring sexuality from my early childhood and for obvious reasons that created a lot of distortions around it which fear, guild, shame effecting other aspects of life including OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder) which is still subtly effecting my life but to much lesser degree. For example, I am still having those night visitations (unconscious release) but with less frequency and effect.</p>
<p>I feel like bringing alignment to the expression of sexuality (sensuality) is one of my main lessons in this life. By bringing the alignment in my own field, the effect can have a ripple effect in the surrounding field as well which is great and needed at this time.</p>

We have met a couple of times but are physically apart since she lives in a different place. First I thought this was a disadvantage but now I see differently. It helps me to go beyond the body and looks etc and feel the presence inside of me. Its as if the souls are interacting in the heavens as you speak about. I'm not sure if this is a mutual experience or my relative experience. But when I interact in the physical dimension I also have pain and fear - fear of being loved maybe or fear of family(again!) complications from both sides. Fear of losing sovereignty. Some karma for sure. Pain in the sacrum. I'm also experiencing a lot of emotions sexual mainly but I feel to contain it. Kundalini dance was a great idea. I put on a different song and danced to it integrating some of the energy inside of me.</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">I’ve been struggling for some time with sudden smells of male perfume during times and in places where they shouldn’t have appeared, and what has felt like energetic sexual penetrations. These experiences have felt intrusive – although I haven’t been able to intellectually interpret them. When reading this article, I immediately felt very strongly that these experiences might be explained by this, as I have sensed a lot of sexual attraction from men from a very young age, and some guys have outright told me that they tend to think about me when they self-pleasure. To me, this feels like an aspect of the distorted masculine that feels somewhat entitled to ‘rape’ the divine feminine, and I’m honestly not OK with it, as I’ve personally always been very conscious about who I create sexual connections with, both physically and mentally. I appreciate that these experiences are probably related to karma (as everything else), and so they serve me, but as with all karma, the goal is to break free from it. </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">I further feel that men generally appear to have a need to fantasize about multiple women when self-pleasuring – which to me pinpoints the distorted masculine ‘raping’ the divine feminine. To me, this doesn’t feel right, and it never has. I appreciate that this need and act frequently appear in women too – although I personally feel that the extent of it is much greater in men. I often “hear” voices as men walk past me and look me at with hungry eyes, saying “I’d shag her” (as if every woman out there is a part of an involuntary shagging evaluation – and it appears to be somewhat involuntary on both sides). Where did this need come from, energetically? Is it aligned? If it is aligned, then why and how is it? When talking to guys about this, they tend to laugh it off rather quickly, emphasizing how “all guys are doing it”. But lots of people are doing lots of things that aren’t ultimately aligned, such as eating meat and lying, for example, and so I find it to be a rather poor argument. If it is a distortion, then what is the truth behind it? If someone is in a committed relationship, for example, is it aligned to fantasize about other people?</span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">When that is said, I don’t wish to judge any sexual acts or desires, as inflicting shame into sexuality is another major sexual distortion. I’m finding this tricky, as I find myself feeling angry at the distorted masculine energy, which so often infiltrates my energetic field one way or the other. Of course, I intellectually know that I’m responsible for my own energetic field, but some of my emotions disagree, and need to be honoured and worked with patiently. So, I guess I’m letting parts of my own distortions out here now, to further the inquiry and support my own process of healing and alignment… If anyone has any thoughts around any of this, I’d be very interested to read!</span></span></span></p>

My heart goes out to you <img alt="Heart" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/2764.png" title="Heart" width="20" /></p>
<p>All manner of projections go on in the field. Being reasonably prominant in exploring self-realisation, they are projected at me aswell. So I do empathise with what you're experiencing. Although the divine feminine has been violated in the ways you describe and oppresssed through distorted masculine ray 1, the disruptive energy underlying it has invaded the consciousness of men too. It's influenced but in a different way - those who try to control and manipulate are themselves manipulated at a consciousness level. I believe one of the key aspects we're dealing with that underpins it all, is what we might metaphorically call the "Black Snake" energy within society - what people call "satanic". I posted an article about it here today...</p>
<p class="node__title"><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5d-shift-unwinding-black-snake-energy-deep-field"><strong><span class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden quickedit-field" data-quickedit-field-id="node/20818/title/en/full" property="schema:name">5D Shift: Unwinding the "Black Snake" Energy of the Deep Field</span></strong></a></p>
<p class="node__title">Fortunately we're in a place where that energy in society is now being well challenged as the divine feminine reclaims sovereignty and empowerment. I believe we saw it in the much publicised Hollywood abuse and oppression cases a short while back and also with what's happening in the 'corridors of power' right now. It's high time that energy was confronted and unravelled - I do believe we're seeing the early signs of that. Which is tremendous for everyone. <img alt="The Sun Emoji" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Nature/The_Sun_Emoji.png" title="The Sun Emoji" width="20" /></p>
<p class="node__title">But how to deal with it on a personal level as you describe, especially as you become sensitive to what goes on in the field around you?</p>
<p class="node__title">This kind of projectional behaviour is going to test us at the deepest levels. And how ever unpleasant, we can learn, evolve and grow as a soul through it. So always work to find the opportunity in it - to grow through it - I can feel you are doing that admirably <img alt="Thumbs Up Sign" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Thumbs_Up_Sign_Emoji_Icon_ios10.png" title="Thumbs Up Sign" width="19" /></p>
<p class="node__title">A key thing always is to look to the macrocosym and the paradox of life itself. Work to understand and find acceptance in this...</p>
<blockquote><p class="node__title"><em>At the core level, you are The One - the divine presence from which absolutely everything emerges. And most importantly.... at that level, everything is moving within you. There is no separation. Therefore it's important we become able to accept this, in order that we find the One within.</em></p>
<p class="node__title"><em>And at the same time, you're a unique expression as a soul, with a purpose to self-determine and self-actualise. So the soul has boundaries through which to express. Hence the yearning for sovereignty and the sense of violation if unwelcome energies penetrate.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="node__title">Over the years I've practiced a good deal of martial arts. But for me, in that regard, practice went through a quantum shift when I discovered how to blend the divine feminine into the discipline.</p>
<p class="node__title">Some things jumped right out from ancient Shaolin Philosophy:</p>
<blockquote><p class="node__title"><em>1) Become as nothing in the face of your opponent, give them nothing to oppose, and the attack will dissipate of its own accord. Meaning that in the energetic field, if you feel attacked or violated, work to become as nothing it it - as the presence of the One. That way, the energy has nothing to hook onto and will deplete itself. The physical will soon follow.</em></p>
<p class="node__title"><em>2) In the field, you learn how to blend and shift different of your own energies. Sometimes completely transparent and 'ghost' like - you can't even be seen. Sometimes you're making a definitive statement, taking a firm position - it's like practicing Aikido, you flow and dance like water, at other times crystallise into form. It becomes exceptionally difficult for controlling energies to deal with that degree of spontaneity and flexibility.</em></p>
<p class="node__title"><em>3) At an advanced level, you learn how to blend with an 'attack', become as-One with it by not resisting, but then giving it a shove in the direction it's already going. That means you'll always have that bit of extra power. This is not something that can necessarily be taught on an energetic level, you have to feel it yourself and explore.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p class="node__title">Above all, know that this is about energy. If you are sensitive, then you have a great advantage. But it's then actively applying yourself to work within the energy field, where you can have the greatest effect.</p>
<p class="node__title">The surface level is often about bravado and hyped up behaviour - but where things really count, is within the energy field itself.</p>
<p class="node__title">I trust this helps a degree.</p>

I have shared earlier that I have been feeling deeply into my hips recently . I couldn't ''see" them earlier ,but several session using deep stretch and crying and feeling into them later ,I am able to identify that there is still some density in the ball of the hip joint . I can see it very clearly and now attempt to connect with that ball of very densely tight energy .I was mulling over the fact that so many women have fractures in that area in old age and how that is perhaps the only way to release the crystallized energy in that bone A friend called just the next day asking for advice about her mother who had an accident and broke her hip .</p>
<p>I am attempting to harness the Kundalini energy as you describe. I think a great deal of fear and repression often derail my efforts ,but recently while self pleasuring I tried to bring the energy back as you put it. The surge of energy that went from my base to my heart chakra was off the charts . For the whole next day I was zinging. And the next day suddenly rediscovered my copy of Magdalene manuscript the sex magic of Isis by Tom Kenyon . </p>
<p>In the last week I am pushed into some deep density . I am feeling very disconnected and foggy and overwhelmed. So much stuff seems to have come up. I have to let go of the farm I was harvesting organic produce from in March- it wasn't feeling aligned for a while . Maybe it signifies other avenues to grow in inside and out . I have restarted my dance class as vigorous dance helps to ground the energies so much better ( and plus I love to dance !) </p>
<p>Just feels like I'm walking n the middle of what I like to think of as growth spurt complete with growing pains and all . </p>

Great work <img alt="Thumbs Up Sign" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Thumbs_Up_Sign_Emoji_Icon_ios10.png" title="Thumbs Up Sign" width="19" /></p>
<p>My sense is that what you're encountering is a widespread issue for women in general. And it's to do with the way Homo Sapiens was engineered. The intervention experimented with a progressive range of genetic hybridisations. It was very much experimental, and in my knowing, countless times 'mistakes' happened. I believe it was more a case of learning by mistakes. So many women who were abducted into the program suffered greatly around child birth. Clearly, when you witness the challenges of birthing today, although you could say the intervention was 'successful' to some degree, nevertheless there are still many challenges related to child birth.</p>
<p>I would say the majority of women on the planet today, are carrying that karma. And it manifests in the kinds of ways you describe - problems with the hips, lower abdomen, uterus, overies etc etc. It's not at all easy I know, but neverthless it can be worked through. There are many tremendous womens groups the world over who're getting into that karma right now, often without necessarily knowing the cause, yet effectively dealing with the trauma anyway.</p>
<p>An Openhander in Budapest called <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/user/reka">Réka</a></strong>, I know is working with hundreds of women around the whole karmic challenge of child birth.</p>
<p>It's definitely something to work through.</p>
<p>In loving support</p>

<p> </p>
<p>That actually makes sense . When my very old soul daughter was to be born ,I read all the books and did all the yoga and prepped myself for a vaginal birth . However at the last moment my uterus went into spasm and my daughter also seemed to get afraid . Her heartbeat dropped and I experienced birth with a tube in my mouth and under general anesthesia . It took me a long time to get over the guilt and shame of not doing this 'properly' . Now that I look back that fits in nicely with me blacking out as memories of traumatic births previously flooded my system . </p>
<p>Thank you for your insights </p>

From past experience, there comes a point, where the old reality becomes fundamentally untenable in any kind of fixed state. The Deva underpinning it - in this case Gaia - reaches the point of no return, and signals her readiness to begin withdrawing energy from the old construct. It is my conviction, that the ongoing shifts in tectonic plates, as illuminated by the Hawaii Kilauea Volcano eruption, indicate we're passing through that milestone.</p>
<p><strong><em>What will it mean?</em></strong></p>
<!--break--><h3>The Karmic Construct</h3>
<p>All reality condenses into form from the surrounding <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Setting_Intention_Divine_Manifestation_and_navigating_the_Quantum_Soup" target="_float">Quantum Soup</a></strong>, based on the need to explore various karmic lessons. Sentient life manifests a crucible, through which to learn, evolve and grow. Any such construct has great possibility for illumination through expression. And crucially, all reality constructs have inherent instability woven into their very fabric; they will inevitably decay over time, unleashing bound up consciousness, so it may shift to higher vibrations, thereby forming a new harmonic construct - it's how life progressively evolves.</p>
<p>Plenty of the karmic lessons each soul has set before them will be unique to the individual, but there will also be key ones that are common, and thereby connect sentient life into groups of inquiry. Here are some of the key ones that I see happening on Earth...</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li><em>How to stay connected to the divine flow, whilst in a strongly engaging physical density</em></li>
<li><em>How to create and experience life's bounteous wonders, yet not to exploit or cause unnecessary harm</em></li>
<li><em>How to mutually support as a group, yet integrate personal soul sovereignty, evolving as an individual</em></li>
<li><em>How to experience <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/the_ET_intervention_of_planet_earth" target="_float">Intervention through the Field</a>, and yet align with the souls evolving integrational path</em></li>
<li><em>How to cherish and respect all life, without judging, controlling or manipulating</em></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<h3>A Crucial Key Stone opening a New Doorway</h3>
<p>It's clear there's still much for humanity to learn in these regards, and that's entirely okay, life will always continue to present new opportunities for exploration and growth. However, here on Earth, I believe it's becoming increasingly clear that the reality construct were living in, within the lower densities (1st, 2nd and 3rd), is rapidly reaching an untenable state, caused by exploitative destruction of the biosphere. I believe the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Gaias_Great_5D_Shift...An_Arctic_without_Ice%3F" target="_float">melting of the Artic Ice Cap</a> is a crucial indication of that, plus the virulent toxification of our environment, not to mention the pandemic mistreatment of sentient life within the Industrial Food Chain.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I can strongly feel mindless exploitation on Earth has reached a critical point - it's generated unproductive and excessive suffering to the balance of sentient life here - anyone with any degree of empathic feeling must surely feel it. Crucially, I sense too, that the balance has shifted within the heart and mind of Gaia, and through the shifting tectonic plates, is revealing her readiness to begin withdrawing energy from the old construct - in the interests of the balance of sentient life here.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And that I believe is the significance of the Hawaii Kilauea Volcano. It feels to me as if it is a crucial 'key stone', through which a new doorway is opening to facilitate an acceleration in the shift. A new phase is clearly initiating, which will over time, have a dramatic impact across the earth. </p>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Keystone.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<h3>
Increasing Global Cataclysm</h3>
<p>I believe it's becoming increasingly clear, we're moving into a period in the shift of dramatic global cataclysm. The weather patterns are fundamentally changing due to the shifting jet streams effected predominantly by the melting arctic, which is causing biblical floods, droughts, destructive storms and wildfire; as global temperatures rise, staple crops in the food chain will increasingly fail, leading to food-price-hikes, shortages and also starvation; meanwhile, <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/In_this_Great_5D_Shift_Gaia_begins_to_release_the_Light" target="_float">the pole shift is causing a lowering of the earth's magnetic shield</a>, thus initiating an increasing influx of cosmic radiation, plus intensifying earthquake and volcanic action.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>It's clear, the evidence illuminates this is already beginning to happen, but as the karmic construct begins to unwind, these affects are set to dramatically increase. It's essential we don't bury our heads in the sand over this, the evidence is already clearly pointing that way, but if we prepare ourselves for what is to come, especially mentally and emotionally, then we'll be better able to mediate the effects and come together to support one another.</em></p>
</blockquote>

<h3>The Great Purification</h3>
<p>This breakdown of the Karmic Construct is an essential aspect of the shift, which it seams to me, has thus far been largely overlooked in the spiritual mainstream. Yes, the shift into a higher paradigm of greater harmony, connection and at-one-ment with all life, is coming to the Earth, but not before this essential <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/The_Great_Realignment_part_1">Great Purification</a></strong> - as the Hopi term it - whereupon the old construct is peeled away. It will be a fundamental, "earth shattering", aspect of the Shift. Let's first embrace it, then we can mediate the effects.</p>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/earth-old-to-new.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<p>Crucially, we must confront and prepare ourselves mentally and emotionally for what is set to come. Ego-mind works to hold the status quo, and tends to struggle with dramatic change. For example, it's clear the Twin Towers and Building 7 were toppled by controlled demolition - the evidence is in plain view. But the mind struggles to grasp the enormity of what that would mean, and so the majority continue life as 'normal'. We cannot afford to sleepwalk into what is set to come. We must come together in groups, and explore with each other, the magnitude of what is already beginning to take place. We must hold the space for emotions to be expressed and "equalised" with what is transpiring.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>It's like sitting on a surf board waiting for the surge to arrive, but suddenly you find yourself standing on the wave. To ride it successfully, you must become totally as one with the strength of flow and all its nuances. Then you can ride it successfully and thrive with expression of self.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<h3>In a Universe of Constant Change, Change is the Only Constant</h3>
<p>Let's be clear, all life changes and moves on; in a Universe of constant change, change is the only constant. The challenge in society is that it continues to live today as if things will be just as they were yesterday - that's the dangerous sleep-walking-syndrome that as many of us as possible must work to avoid.</p>
<p><strong><em>What specifically can we do to ride the growing wave?</em></strong></p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li><em>At its roots, humanity is tribal. When great catastrophe befell the Originals, they gathered together to discuss, share, express and support each other. This is exactly what I mean by "equalising" with the situation - you become as one with it, and are thus much more able to handle it. It's utterly essential spiritual people convene in this way now. We have an abundance of connective media possibilities, and in these groups, we must observe and share the effects we're clearly witnessing. Let's lose any fear of expressing the truth, because only the truth can truly set us free. <strong><a href="https://www.facebook.com/OpenhandFoundation/" target="_float">Follow Openhand on facebook</a></strong></em></li>
<li><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/divinicus" target="_float"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Divinicus.jpg" width="180" /></a><em>Besides emotional and mental support in this way, we must also increase the practical physical support. Civilisation will become increasingly challenged by the upheavals set to come, yet plenty of resources are available, providing they are not mindlessly squandered. The Transition Towns network has risen rapidly across the globe, offering practical support and infrastructure, designed to deal locally with fracturing global resource chains, maximising sustainability and resilience. I'd strongly encourage as many as possible to get involved, for as I've expressed in the book <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/divinicus" target="_float">DIVINICUS</a></strong>, there will be "Islands in the Storm", that will provide essential shelter and stability to maximise the shift window opportunity.<br />
<strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/times_are_transition" target="_float">Discover more about the Transition Towns Network and Get Involved</a></strong></em></li>
<li><em>Above all, we must learn to fully connect with the soul, and then ride its wave from moment to moment. The time for procrastination, and living in fuzzy half truths, is over. As the dam in the stream now breaks, the energy shift into the higher paradigm will accelerate. It will unleash many opportunities not previously available to those who can create in 5D Consciousness. We must commit to living the new vibration RIGHT NOW, and support as many others as possible in doing the same. For these people will become the pathfinders and way-showers to as many other people as possible.<br />

<li><em>Purification of mind, body and emotions is also essential. We must remove as many veils as possible to the higher consciousness, that we may feel and integrate it into our lives. Thus we feel the flow as a way of being, and it will guide us benevolently through the storm. Focus on increasing vibration through purification of the diet, more toward the higher vibrations of plant based eating. Emotional purification can happen by expressing fully, but not judging and projecting blame onto others - because ownership of the reality one creates is crucial to self empowerment.<br />

<li><em>Learning to effectively process karma is crucial to the shift, because karma is the barrier, and learning vehicle, guiding people into the higher paradigm; it provides the keys that open the <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/five_gateways">GATEWAYS</a></strong>. It's essential therefore to recognise when one's karma is activating, and to 'turn into it' - to actively embrace and work with it. The human causal body will have stored much trauma from humanity's convoluted past, which must be regressed into and worked through - in this way, there is nothing to fear from it. Only fear, denial or deflection stand in the way of effective and rapid processing. Once we've developed strong karmic processes, we can quickly breakthrough as safely as possible.</em><br />

<li><em>To truly prosper and succeed in the shifting tides, we must commit fully to the development of strong spiritual practice. This needs to involve some form of deep self reflection on a regular basis thoughout the day, each day, whether that be meditation, deep consciousness bodywork (yoga for example), connection with nature or the plethora of other spiritual possibilities. As the Hopi said, there will ultimately be only spiritual solutions to the great shift ahead of us. Our spiritual practice must support the transformation of distorted behaviourisms in day-to-day life. Our engagements with family, friends, in society and spiritual groups, provide strong mirrors that we must each embrace and own. We can then work through them by continually seeking out our highest truth in regard to the exchanges. Where spiritual practice is integrated this way into daily living, great transformation can occur in small steps, and rapidly so.<br />

<h3>A Golden Opportunity</h3>
<p>In conclusion, it is essential that we embrace the seriousness of the situation that is now beginning to unfold. And at the same time, <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_Exploding_Fear_How_to_Liberate_Yourself_in_Any_Given_Situation" target="_float">confront any fear that might arise by working into it.</a></strong> Thus we find acceptance, surrender and lightness of heart. Change is going to happen. Let's accept that and embrace it in our hearts as a golden opportunity - spiritual mastery and the greatest sense of divine interconnection is presenting itself, because the veils are becoming increasingly thin.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Now is the time, to look into the external mirror, and see the limited physical being that you are not! Let the veils of limitation fall from your eyes and from your being. Here is the golden opportunity to step out and become all that you can be. Spiritual beings were made for these times ahead of us. Your purpose and destiny for being here, is set to come fully into view. Honour, own and embrace it. Step courageously and fearlessly forwards into your divine role. And this wave you're about to step onto, will become the ride of your existence!</em></p>

<blockquote><p><em>I know that very recently my own Ascension back into the Higher Paradigm has begun. Whilst running the 5GATEWAYS retreat in Halifax, I was staying in a basement room, which was partially underground - I felt a deeper sense of connection to Gaia and what's happening with the shifting tectonic plates. And then my own shift to 18 hour a day intermittent fasting triggered an expansion of consciousness, which was reflected strongly into the outer world through synchronicity.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I incarnated 16 years ago in 2002, drawn from the higher dimensions to help illuminate these crucial transformations that are taking place on the Earth. I have no idea how long it will take for Gaia to complete the shift into 5D, but I know my journey is closely connected to that timeline (more an event line). I would say it's unlikely we have longer that a few decades, so it's essential that the journey of soul integration and evolution becomes our daily focus.</p>
<p>Everyone in the Openhand Team is there to support the shift, and will do so as long as possible.</p>

Here is a short recap of what's happening:</p>
<p>Few months ago I felt a longing to go back to Hawaii. I used to vacation there quite a bit and the islands feel like home. But the issue was that there were no funds available for a meaningful trip and I sadly let it go. Few days later, an unexpected inflow of a substantial amount of cash made it possible for me and the family to book one month on Oahu. Some time later I was at a bookstore and met an author who was signing her autobiographical book called "The Girl in a Golden Bikini". I approached her and opened the book on one of the chapters. It was about islands hopping in Hawaii. I struck a conversation with her and she said I must go to the Big Island and actually gave me a contact information of a private pilot who could take me there from Oahu with his Cesna. Around the same time, a lovely person I met during one of my voyages reached out and asked if I wanted to pay him a visit, if I'm in the neighbourhood. He lives just few kilometres from the recent explosions, on the opposite side from the lava flow (the lava flows away from his house). 2 weeks after that, the volcano on the Big I was activated.</p>
<p>Also, right from the beginning, I couldn't help but think of the recent eruptions as adjustments and realignments of the tectonic plates. All this felt like cranium plates finding a better position to benefit the energy flow in the whole body. BTW, this is what I do, biodynamic craniosacral (a gentle touch therapy that facilitates body's intrinsic realignment, no force applied... I mainly supply my awareness to the other's body by following its systems and craniosacral rhythms with my consciousness). Also, for the last few weeks when I meditate, my energy wants to expand and become aware of the whole planet. It keeps happening outside of my conscious intention and feels like stretching exercises, where I have to maintain a strong focus to allow for my field to be rich enough to be able to expand more. This is what I do as a craniosacral therapist, I hold the awareness of the detail as well as the whole of the client's body (The body is a bit like a fractal and the tiniest element energetically contains the information of the whole). I'm not sure if I can hold a whole planet like that. I'm feeling some fear of experiencing the pain of what is going on around the world. I'm also afraid of failure and of being self-empowered. It sometimes makes me want to cry, all this keeping myself smaller than I am. It is so confining... Aside from that, when in meditation I'm seeing 3D sacred geometry figures and some golden symbols that look like digits, but are not understandable to my mind. They seem to be familiar to my energy that really sharpens and spikes in a focused way as a reaction to these visions (BTW, is anyone experiencing sacred geometry imagery?).</p>
<p>Yesterday I went hiking and my attention was drawn to different rocks near a river. I saw one very different than the slate and granite surrounding it. It had a rusty orange elements in it... I picked it up and immediately knew it was a message. The pattern on the rock looked just like exploding lava on the Big Island and very similar to the picture/video Open just posted in a comment. </p>
<p><img alt="A message from Gaia" data-entity-type="file" data-entity-uuid="3bcf2bc6-f627-4d8e-8d5e-dc06975f0a21" height="243" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/inline-images/Screen%20Shot%202018-05-22%20at%2010.02.25%20AM.jpg" width="366" /></p>
<p>The darker pattern in the middle also reminds me of a mouth. I wonder what it will lead to... I better pay attention. I'm flying out in just few weeks.</p>
<p>I shared all that felt relevant. If you guys picked on anything in my post, please share. My life feels like a movie, like being in a Matrix that consists of symbols and meanings. Part of me wants to be blind to the full picture still...</p>
<p>Margaret</p>
<p>PS I also have a sense that the "full picture" is ever-changing and as long as I'm aware in a moment I'll know how to be with what is. This makes the fear subside a bit and (almost) all is as it should be and I'm curious again. After all isn't it all about self realization anyways? Perhaps my higher self just decided to go on a little expansion excursion and it picked Hawaii as the perfect energy to do so ;-)</p>

I can add a few more points that I am seeing popping up and following:</p>
<p>1. With all this quickening, still not forgeting to relax, trust, surrender and enjoy the ride (the tough one too), because otherwise there might be too much tightness that will create friction rather than lubrication. To me, when things get tougher, these are more of use than pushing it forwards. Slower is somehow always quicker (and there is muuuch more time in a minute than a rushing mind is used to think).</p>
<p>2. To take the necessary steps, including those that may look "spiritually incorrect", and, in general, remove agendas, ideas, ideals, rigid recipes and cookbooks, because maybe where the work and the gift and the service are (all of them in one) is actually where the taboo is, and there is no taboo that doesn't request to be blown, in all aspects, and now especially, and especially spiritual ones. All means can serve, if worked with in a right way and under higher guidance.</p>
<p>3. To not forget to move out of the way and let the universe do its thing through us and do our thing to serve the universe. Because if we're too worried about our own "skin" and acting out of that, we might miss the idea that being ready, willing and open to perish can open doors that are closed otherwise. While it is vital to stay alive to serve, it is rather inhibiting and possibly detrimental to fight for survival only for the sake of survival itself.</p>
<p>4. In my personal work, I am invited to make sure I don't own "it" and don't take credit for "it", whatever it is, as well as not being overtly dramatic or "action"-driven. It all comes from something bigger than me. So all the heroism kinda fades away and I find myself back in simplicity, openness and humility. I guess for me "loud words" are over. I'd rather bow, in all ways and senses. So to me this one is something to remember at every moment, to give in and make myself always smaller than the big thing. The point is working to NOT OWNING the path or the soul or the light or the process or how I deal with it or not or energies or realisations or... whatever. None of it is mine.</p>
<p>5. Whatever the process is, grounding is always important, and now I feel it becomes super-important. All kinds of energies flus in and will flux in more when the field will go into turmoil. So there is a gym opening now, a gym of critical grounding, clearing energies and placing nice defences (no fear), more than before. Everybody is invited hhh</p>
<p>6. In addition to tribe, I feel there is an invitation to more love. More love than ever. Love for benevolent, for malevolent, for life, for death, for people, for evolved, for not evolved, for construction and destruction, for everything and everywhere. As if it all intermixes and asks to go back to the oneness at least in my own heart. Whatever else I still didn't make peace with in my heart, whatever else I can't justify and feel love for and can't connect to the source, is calling to do so. If I can love what is happening, despite feeling whatever it is I am feeling and go back to smiling and seeing the light in it, if I can open to it and stay open and innocent with it, then something, again, bigger than me, can flow in and do its thing. LOVE combined with openness and humility, to me, is the only thing that ever did the trick.</p>
<p>7. With that, despite the direction of condensation into tribes (individualism is seemingly over), but at the same time, establishing more internal sovereignty on the soul level. No clinging, bending and betraying the soul, especially not out of fear or any need (this trap opens wide open). It is okay to need things, but it is not okay to sell the soul for them, not even for life itself.</p>
<p>8. Welcoming and embracing the process, appreciating the beauty, even if it is fading. This kind of process happened a lot already and it is happening again, so... be it. We're cooperating with and celebrating what is (including the dark and sad stuff we cry and feel sorrow about). It is still beautiful, the destruction and death are too. Singing in unison with it is a better eulogy than dramatic and anxious whining, to me, plus, it lets the light in, that always does a better job in aligning, unwinding, comforting and seeing off than any of my human mumblings.</p>
<p>9. Non-intervention. It is vital to not become another form of intervention, even if it seems benevolent and helpful (tricky piece of karma, old cosmic karma that is). What I use is the law of response to never interfere unless I am directly asked to and the action flows through without needing to intentionally force or think about it. In other words, good intentions suck. Not knowing and being ready to not interfere, save, reach out, all that stuff... It is a lesson of not letting compassion drive us too much or swallow our consciousness, and not get lost in our seeming roles and purposes. Residing at rest within to me is the ultimate state of being before action. But that means containing a lot of tension and energies and working through them until something comes out of silence, contentment, peace and love. Intervention, in whatever form, means not being in peace with what is happening. We see and can feel it all and still not interfere and let the job be done through us. It is an old lesson of non-identification while fully feeling and acting.</p>
<p>10. Remembering that all the work is done within rather than without. Trying to fix things out there (including smoothening distortions in the field, trying to kill entities in it, supporting the earth, saving or needing to correct humanity, and, in general, any kind of projection of internal darkness onto external reality) should be over at this point. If I see darkness to "clean", clear, change, etc out there - I see my own darkness to work with within, period. It will not be solved by fighting windmills out there that were created to reflect where I fail to see the purity of the origin so it can melt back into oneness in love. Time to get real. And, anyway, this is the only thing that really unites the polarities back into one and lifts and clears the field, clearing my own blindness and bullshit which is.</p>
<p>11. Being sure of not being sure. There is one thing I've learned in my process so far - is that I never know 100% and things can turn and twist in every moment in the direction I couldn't foresee. So with everything that I may feel and think I know and am sure of in the moment, I work to not let the mind build patterns and extrapolate it into the future, because the future is ultimately always unknown (reality proved it many times already).</p>
<p>In general, in my feeling, it is time to move out of the way...</p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">These are some of the things that I see and work with. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size: 1rem;">There are more, but that will do for now :)</span></p>

<p>It's always illuminating watching your process - clearly some intriguing inquiries.</p>
<p>You said...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Non-intervention. It is vital to not become another form of intervention, even if it seems benevolent and helpful (tricky piece of karma, old cosmic karma that is). </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes, a 'tricky piece of karma'. And there's an inverse mirror to that - "not doing anything at all". I see reality kind of like a cake - you need a good raising agent (a catalyst) and a good binding one (an empath). Without either, there's no cake. The metaphor invites each to be his/her own - who you are in the fullness - not denying anything. It helped me to remember the chemistry: a catalyst does not change the course of a reaction, nor the outcome, it only speeds things up. So fully aligned action, together with self-reflection to become increasingly aligned, will steer past intervention.</p>
<p>You then said...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Trying to fix things out there (including smoothening distortions in the field, saving or needing to correct humanity should be over at this point.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I find it the natural and authentic to want to help humanity and to help release/smooth distortions in the field - it feels a natural part of my being. Maybe you're not appreciating that possibility behind the lens that you're personally looking through.</p>

<p>Thank you for the inverse mirror. Indeed...Finding the middle line is always a bit of alignment within the deviations.</p>
<p>About humanity, empathy and compassion can be there. What I meant is that it can easily turn into intervention if it makes one lose center, identify with it and get lost in a savior complex. The point is that empathy can turn into a hook that pulls out, cause to interfere and create more turmoil, as well as diminish, lower, disempower and deviate people from the work they need to do on their own, as well as taking credit for the shifts.</p>
<p>In my feeling, if I just follow and make sure I do the right thing, internally or externally, it will contribute better than anything intentional or coming out of my personal reaction to what I observe or feel.</p>
<p>I use your tip a lot, the one that says that I can sit and feel the other person’s need, expectation, suffering. I can empathise, feel compassion or whatever else I feel, but then I watch the leaf moving or the sky and I stay still until the action arises or something to say comes out.</p>
<p>This is what I mean. Hope it is clearer now :)</p>

<p>a wonderful BBC documentary about Mexico . I rarely watch TV but at times , important informations / signs & synchronicites appear over there as well - specially if related to the actual shift taking place and its new phase . The title of the Series is called " Mexico , Earth's festival of life " and part 1 was mainly focused on Mountain's rich diversity of plants & animals . It was exceptionally well done with amazing aspects of Mother Earth treasures still well preserved - especially along that long Mountain chain that we may know as the Sierra Nevada/Snowy mountain range or Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt . It extends across Mexico for roughly 559 miles up close to Mexico City. This volcanic range boasts many peaks that remain snow-covered all year long. It ranges from west to east from the states of <a href="http://www.gogringo.com/states/jalisco/" title="Jalisco">Jalisco</a> to <a href="http://www.gogringo.com/states/veracruz/" title="Veracruz">Veracruz</a> jutting northward and southward as it traverses the central country from the Pacific Ocean to the Caribbean Sea , Home to extraordinary forests and captivating views . The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt is made up of more than twenty volcanoes as well as hundreds of vents. The Trans-Mexican Volcanic Belt contains many different types of volcanoes such as huge stratovolcanoes and silicic calderas; in the south near the Guatemalan border, there are basaltic volcanic fields. The belt, regarded geologically as a Neogene continental arc, likely began to form roughly twenty-three million years ago.</p>
<p>They showed how men (Local Rangers living in that Mountainous region ) nature and animals such as Black Bears learned to live in exceptional harmony all the time which is pretty rare to see on that magnitude . Breathtaking to watch . </p>
<p>What struck me deep was when they came up with that specific unique Volcanic Belt - which is absolutely huge and indeed , at some point , surrounds the region of Mexico city . I had never heard of it neither seen how that immense region looked like but felt like there might be a subtle & concrete underground connection to the Hawaï volcanic islands . So i went to google maps and suddenly realized that indeed , it seems that The Mexican volcanic belt is exactly on the same latitude as Hawaï - how synchronistic !!! It may not mean that new volcanic activities will start on that long belt following Hawaii's recent eruptions but it well might be the case later on . We will see what happens . I know i was not given to watch that documentary just for its sheer beauty but for something else . I often receive premonitory informations about whats about to take place . A Great example of that is last Year's summer : while crossing London on my way back to Belgium , my attention was drawn to a very unique sign that puzzled me for a while . I had to wait until August to understand the premonitory deep sense of the message . The sign came in the form of a famous Phrase used by the Astronauts of Appollo 13 when they started to have a serious problem on board which was " Houston , we have a problem " . It was impossible for me to intuit what that was about until i saw the Huge floods in Houston taking place in August - one month later !!! </p>
<p>Synchronistically , i stumbled up on the latest Trailer of the upcoming chapter of the Jurassic Park movie series called " Fallen Kingdom " out in June . The main theme goes around a **Volcanic eruption ** on the Island & they need to save some of the species left . </p>

This is VERY interesting!</p>
<p>The connection between the volcanic belt in Mexico and the Hawaii volcanic islands speaks to me about how interdependence exists on ALL levels. The landscape sounds SO epic! Especially the way you describe it. Its funny because last night, in the early morning hours I had a dream about the Amazon. I am dreaming a lot at the moment, partly I think because of the longer fasting window I am in. I had visions of harmony between animals, plants and humans and a journey (my own) facing death, surrendering and being loved by Nature and animals at the moment of death. Exquisite!</p>
<p>The way your premonitions unfold is fascinating. So much happening with Earth right now and a few environmental scientists are convinced there is no way back. Not only that but the collapse is multilevelled and interrelated (source: Scientific American):</p>
<blockquote><p><span style="color: rgb(50, 50, 50); font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255); display: inline !important; float: none;">Meadows (an environmental scientist) holds that collapse is now all but inevitable, but that its actual form will be too complex for any model to predict. "Collapse will not be driven by a single, identifiable cause simultaneously acting in all countries," he observes. "It will come through a self-reinforcing complex of issues"—including climate change, resource constraints and socioeconomic inequality.<span> </span></span></p>

<p>The inquiry is how do we dance this apocalyptic tune and why?...</p>

I know you as a keen reader of synchronicity, so I always pay attention when you share. I too have been drawn to a Guatamala connection recently - it'll be interesting to see what that unfolds.</p>
<p>And as for Jurassic World, "Fallen Kingdom", yes my attention has been drawn that way too. A couple of times recently I found myself sitting in a coffee shop, in the centre of town, just watching the endless treadmill of conspicuous consumerism, which is seemingly never ending, and totally regardless of the perilous situation our environment and climate have reached. Only yesterday, as I watched, the words... "Last Days of the Dinosaurs" flashed through my consciousness. It does seem increasingly that way.</p>
<p>I hadn't watched the trailer for the new film, but it indeed a powerful synchronistic metaphor, with many elements to it. I felt to embed it here below. A hollywood movie it may well be, but so often our movies today contain metaphoric messages of the different flows of consciousness happening around us...</p>

First Nation tribes speak of 'descending from the stars'. Our starsoul heritage and karma are greatly influencing the course of events here on Earth right now. If we can gain some kind of insight on how, then it can help people rationalise what they're dealing with in day to day life, and ease the path through the karmic plane. There can be nothing more impactful than the shattering Sirius B shift of 120 million years ago. <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5D_Shift_starsouls_mastering_the_Karmic_Challenge_of_Sirius">Many souls have come here to process the karma of that</a>. Maybe you have some of the Sirius archetype? Here's an outline from direct personal experience to support your shift...</p>
<!--break--><h3>It all began on Lyra</h3>
<p>In my knowing, the humanoid form first appeared in our galaxy in the constellation Lyra, hundreds of millions of years ago. Essentially we are all distant cousins. Population of the cosmos happened from consciousness, <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/law_attraction_uncovered">the natural Law of Attraction</a> drawing related souls to favourable conditions for that particular form. Even though we are all related, we will have distinct resonances with particular constellations, due to the fact that souls will have first emerged in a particular location and have soul families there - <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Return_of_the_Pleiadians_and_Earth_Energies_Reconciliation">such as the Pleiades for example</a>. </p>
<blockquote><p><em>However, it is often the case that a starsoul will have spent past lives in several constellations. Usually the Law of Attraction draws to varying experiences so as to be able to learn and empathise with others. The exception here on Earth, are those purely human souls who have only recently emerged here - in comparison, these are relatively young souls that are only a few million years old. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>When contemplating starsoul origins, my sense is it's often considered 'sexy' to have emerged from the Pleiades, Arcturus or Andromeda for example, but not so much from the constellations Sirius and Orion. That's to do with the shattering impact of the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/the_ET_intervention_of_planet_earth">Opposing Consciousness Interventions</a> that took place in these star systems, the highly challenging karma of which, many are dealing with right here and now. Although it's something many would rather (understandably) sweep under the inconvenient rug, it is important however, to have an understanding of those archetypes, because in one way or another, they are going to be influencing all of us; if not internally, then in those we encounter in day to day life. So what might the Sirius archetype be?</p>
<h3>The Big "C"</h3>
<p>In a word, the greatest challenge a soul will likely face as a result of Sirius influence is "control". The Sirian populations became highly advanced technologically, especially in being able to manipulate the surrounding energy field. If you can manipulate the 4D, then you can easily control manifestation in the 3D. Life here on Earth to my mind, is heading rapidly in a similar direction to the Sirius legacy: genetic modification of the human form and sentient life in the food chain; manipulation of the weather and climate; artificial intelligence to support greater technological advancement; "transhumanism" to enhance and perpetuate the human form; exploitation of varying energy sources including <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/the_hidden_cost_of_free_energy">"Free Energy"</a> from the field; physical space travel to populate other planets in our solar system; and in spiritual circles, manipulating the Law of Attraction to - putting it bluntly - manifest what the ego might want. </p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/divininicus_book_purchase"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Divinicus.jpg" width="220" /></a>Although to some, such development may sound 'cool', it does not bode well for life here on 3D Earth. Nothing is free! Nothing we do is without its wider impact. The Law of cause and effect dictates that what you do to a living system, will touch the lives of ALL sentient beings in it. If you exploit too much energy in a particular way, that can render the whole system unbalanced and unstable. It can lead to disastrous and explosive consequences, as happened on Sirius 120 million years ago.<br />
(<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/divinicus">I've shared a perspective in the Book DIVINICUS:rise of the divine human.</a>)</p>
<p>To my mind, control is the biggest karmic challenge of life on Earth today. Too many are trying to manipulate the flow in some way, be it through 'advanced' technology, or by using distorted spiritual laws to manifest in a slightly more 'clever' way. It is not clever to over exploit and destroy the very environment on which we depend. Neither is it hugely evolved.</p>
<p>We'll gain far more by working to understand the natural flow and coming into alignment with it....</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Collapse_of_Civilisation_and_Spiritual_Realignment"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/Collapse%20CivilisationPLAY%20MED.jpg" width="800" /></a></p>
<p><strong><em>So what are the specific karmic challenges many will be dealing with?</em></strong></p>
<h3>4 key Influences of the Sirian Archetype</h3>
<p>Essentially the influences of the Sirian Archetype mostly take place within the lower four chakras. Here is a brief outline of some of the main challenges faced. I've put them in descending order to reflect the density in which they each manifest...</p>
<blockquote><p><strong>4. Forming Fixed Opinion and Judgment:</strong> one of the greatest gifts of the Sirian Archetype is to be able to discern the movement of group energy within the consensus reality construct that they're incarnated into. Sirian souls tend to be highly empathic - often feeling other people's feelings and knowing their thoughts. Thus they tend to form fairly accurate impressions of someone's lower behavioural nature - why they make certain choices for example, if someone is trustworthy, and what might be being concealed subconsciously. When this attribute is properly activated, it means that souls with this archetype will likely be very successful at manifesting resources and outcomes in the physical density. They'll be strong community builders and popular. However, it often also leads to judgmentalism and fixed opinions about reality, which you have to work hard to unpack.</p>
<p>Judgment and authentic discernment often have a very fine dividing line between them. It's highly beneficial of course to be able to form accurate discernments of the nature of reality around you and the behaviourisms of other sentient life - they all affect your path in some way. The soul can then choose the aligned flow through <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/consciousness_landscape">the multi-dimensional landscape</a> you form. But when a discernment slips into a rigidly fixed opinion about someone, or about the surrounding circumstances, then that becomes a condemnation of reality, which is where discernment becomes judgment. This is not only limiting of those around you (because of the often subconscious projection of judgment), but also self-limiting, because it limits more rapid evolutionary change; everything is of consciousness, if you strongly believe something to be a particular way, then this hampers the possibility that you can change things to a more highly evolved pattern. In my observation, this is a classic challenge of the Sirius archetype.</p>
<p>It is best overcome not by denying the opinions one forms. But working to be as open with them as possible - softening any tightness in the heart chakra where the judgment is often formed. Being clear in the mind that all things can and do change. Working with the Christ Consciousness can be a great help in softening judgmentalism and realigning it to authentic non-judgmental discernment. It requires a great deal of acceptance of others through fully opening the heart. <em>Work particularly on acceptance.</em></p>
<p><strong>3. Tightening of the Solar Plexus: </strong>this chakra connects into lower mind and the plane of the intellect. Psychics and mediums often have a very open solar plexus chakra. It's where we start to read to patterning through the field as it's coming into being and so witness the physical manifestation of synchronicity. It leads to an interpretation of 'future-landing-now'. An evolution of that is where you become able to amplify and bring the flow into physical manifestation. We are creative beings and meant to express creativity. However, such a gift comes with great responsibility too - realising that the manifestations you bring into being, can, and will, affect the whole. Some may use their 'parking angels' in the 4D to manifest that much needed parking slot, but what if a less abled person was meant (by the flow) to have it? We are all interconnected. Every action impacts the whole. </p>
<p>That said, it is my observation we are also meant to become active co-creators within the consensus reality - that is a facet of the emergent humanity. To deny the flow coming through you is also ego. So it's important to our very well-being to allow creative manifestation to amplify through us. The challenge arises where this amplification causes you to fixate around the manifestations you are meant to bring into being. It generates tightness in the head, and contracting down in the solar plexus, experienced as head aches and nausea - classic symptoms of attachment, control and misaligned action. It ultimately leads to a disconnection from the flow and then creating field constructs according to a separated agenda. This is exactly what the Opposing Consciousness has done in many constellations - the risk is to fall into that Intervention and to become an unwitting part of it. That's exactly the place countless millions find themselves locked into within society. It is anything but civilised!</p>
<p>If the influence of excessive control impacts you in the solar plexus (and also the Third Eye), my observation is you'll have to work hard to realign the distortion, with full commitment, that can take many years to properly fulfil. I've witnessed many who've manifested a realigning path that leads to countless 'failures' to create. Their very soul derails manifestation, often right at the last moment. It's a way of 'softening' the solar plexus action, by causing it to engage in creative acts, but most importantly, not attaching to the outcome - not needing it to go a certain way. Thus healing leads to fluid and flexible action, effortlessly expanding and contracting, coming into focus, before dissolving into expansion. In this way, only aligned creations are brought into being. <em>Work particularly on being within the doing.</em></p>
<p><strong>2. Emotional Attachment of the sacral chakra</strong>: in an emotional sense, it is my observation that the Sirius influence is highly loyal in relationships and can be very self-sacrificing. This comes with the caveat that there is often some deeper need due to a sense of community belonging. It means they can be very needy within relationship, with a tendency to manipulate and emotionally blackmail. An inherent karmic disconnect from the divine flow has led to the fear of isolation, which is partially fulfilled by partnership. Often someone with this Sirius emotional archetype will also tend to project their emotional pain into their outer environment. By spreading the pain, it becomes easier to tolerate, but crucially, the karmic source is not engaged or worked with. There's often an emotional 'fizz' on the surface, but without properly internalising so as to unravel the roots of the karma.<br />
(<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/9_Step_Spiritual_Healing_Process_for_dealing_with_Subconscious_Trauma_and_Karma">Try this 9 step spiritual healing process for dealing with karmic source pain.</a>)</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5GATEWAYS_book"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/NEW%205G%202d%20book%20cover.jpg" width="220" /></a>Sirians are strongly community orientated, which at its core is a good thing of course, but it is also often due to this emotional neediness that community connections are sought. Facebook, youtube and other portal sites (to my mind) are classic manifestations of that - the connections are mostly shallow and on the surface, the emotion spread virally at a surface level so as to pull in and attach. There are of course many good aspects of the internet - the spread of knowledge and the activation of consciousness. The challenge is where people attach and get addicted - emotionally and mentally. Obsesssive compulsive behaviour and addiction are typical of the Sirius archetype. The key to dealing with emotional attachment is to express it and bring it out into the open: yes, this is important, because that way, you're provided signposts in the direction you must work. But the alchemical change can only happen internally. So you must internalise the inquiry and explore deep into the source pain of the problem in order to realign it.</p>
<p>That means allowing the experience to be there and working into it so as to soften it, and allow aligned soul to come through. In which case the distortion dissolves. <em>Work particularly on acceptance of solitude.</em><br />
(<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/five_gateways">I've shared countless tips, tools and advice for dealing with such distortions in the book 5GATEWAYS</a>).</p>
<p><strong>1. Excessive consumption and distorted sexuality:</strong> these tend to be root chakra distortions (but also sacral). The central theme of the Sirius karmic challenge is lack of trust due to a general disconnect from the divine. This understandably happens in places of great density - the soul fixates on objects in the outer landscape and so contracts into that reality. Think of the metaphoric apple from the Garden of Eden - the taste is so exquisite, the form so perfected, that when you consume of it, then it's easy to become identified with what you've consumed. The more you engross within that experience, the more disconnected you become. Not that we shouldn't experience and enjoy the 'apple' in all its myriad of forms of course, the key is not to attach to the experience.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>Non attachment is not mastered however through denial and renunciation. On the contrary - it's by fully engaging and partaking of the activities that would attach you, and working into them with non self-judgment, but in the midst of them, always attuning to the sense of rightness of the soul. You're working to connect with the expansive feelings of soul all the time. This is essentially what is meant by 'tantra' - being fully in the experience, but always reconnecting the divine loop of consciousness whilst in it. This is as true for all 'consumptive' expressions, from sex, to physical exercise, what you purchase and what you eat.<br />
(<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/node/9420">Check out the Openhand Forum Thread exploring Sacred Sexuality.</a>)</p>
<p>In sexual intimacy, I believe it is essential to allow freedom of consenting expression, so as to overcome ego-generating taboo. Dominant and submissive expressions are natural manifestations of surrendering to the Universal flow, and also harnessing it. To deny these natural feelings - or to attach to them - is to create internal polarity and therefore a disconnect. Aligned, non attached, sexuality is one of the most effective ways to <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/What_is_Kundalini_and_how_to_Activate_it">activate and attune full kundalini</a>, for beneficial integration into our natural creativity, in alignment with the divine flow. I've shared some views in this video below, called "Healing the Divine Warrior" - it's equally applicable to men and women dealing with essences of Sirian karmic distortion (there are similarities and overlaps with 'raptor consciousness', although the Sirian archetype is more erudite and sophisticated, the raptor on the other hand is much more raw and basic instinctual)...</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/healing_divine_warrior_wounded_dragon_video"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/Wounded%20dragon%20video.jpg" width="800" /></a></p>
<h3>Our Cosmic Heritage</h3>
<p>The time is ripe to gain a much broader understanding of how greater cosmic connections are influencing the human journey. It is not necessary to know your exact heritage - what's much more important, is to realise what kind of karmic influences you're consciousness might be being subjected to - awareness is always the key to alignment and resolution.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>It is also essential we step into profound self honesty - <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/enlightenment_0">the path of true Enlightenment</a> can begin nowhere else. Our distortions might seem unsexy and uncool, at times they will likely come with taboo and stigma. But honouring the distortions we carry is the first step to dealing with them. It's time to own our 'shit' by letting go of self-judgment. No one is without distortion - that is the very nature of the relativistic experience.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/star%20seed.jpg" width="350" />In any case, at a soul level, we have sacred agreements to take on this density so as to channel realigning light into it. It's only by fully embodying the distortion that you can realign it. So let's look honestly into what's manifesting in our lives. Accept that it might have a much wider causality than originally assumed, then work courageously into it. That way, you'll process karma much more quickly and come back into the welcome embrace of the divine.</p>
<p>Furthermore, you'll support the realignment of this Great Shift of consciousness taking place all around us.<br />

My primary occupation in Facebook says I am Siriuser at Sirius. I meant it as a joke. Life has its funny ways to hint on things and give us road-signs even that I had no idea it was a road-sign, up till I read the article which is hhh</p>
<p>I am glad I felt to go on the website today. The timing is so perfect. So I know we are connected, I am connected and everything is okay. Because I am within this whole thing right now, it's been months... It was always here, I just wasn't able to look at or experience it in its clarity and full intensity, but now it is HERE. Everything you describe...</p>
<p>There is also the whole topic of addictions that arises from all 4 sources and ends in them, loops, and loops within the loops within the loops, one huge Groundhog day, a program, and the pressure grows the more I look at it, until everything goes boom at some point. To me, addictions are like a replication of karmic looping in a world of manifestations.</p>
<p>It is all a lot of pain, on all levels. I never understood, how come there is so much pain in the world and how can it possibly be okay? But.. what happens after is worth it, it is worth everything that ever happened, it is worth dying for, in all ways possible. It is worth going blind for too.</p>
<p>What else is there to say? What helps me is just being there, sometimes holding my own hand, hugging myself, loving myself, taking a good care of myself after every breakthrough, because before that I am usually brought to the limit and beyond... And this whole compassionate detachment, a moment before everything fades. It doesn't work with just compassion or just detachment. I just gotta find my heart back in all of it.</p>
<p>Hugs to everybody who is going through it. You are not alone. This whole thing is wow. Tough shit, but also super-wow.</p>
<p>Cheers <3</p>

<p>At this point I feel it is about absolute trust that is beyond knowing, understanding or even trying to. </p>
<p>I talked about it in the past - in knowing it is easy to create this conditioned kind of trust, but trusting that even if I die in the process it is okay, and that failing is an option if I don't have any idea or structure in my head how things are and how they will be, what will happen to me. There is this humility that really, I don't know. I don't know anything anymore and ready to be surprised any time, in any way. I just have this feeling that I am being changed, that I need to make a sacrifice every time and that there is no way back or any other way.</p>
<p>I am experiencing a kind of blindness, edging on stupidity. As somebody who would completely rely on the mind and intellect in the past, analysing, understanding, making connections and conclusions, building systems, theories, explaining everything, relying on what I know and see and understand... Suddenly it all collapsing. I am watching it and it just feels like totally inorganic to even try to do it, because it "kills" the real thing, the moment and actually shuts the possibilities out, converges it to some limited reality that my mind think about. Like in quantum experiments, it affects the result, and I don't want to. I don't want to affect it anymore. So I leave the big picture be the big picture and just focus on what is happening to me right now.</p>
<p>It's like, in my "breakdown" I lost any consciousness, or understanding, which also brings a big question "is unconscious really unconscious?", because something still was there, something genuine, more genuine than even awareness, observation and all this being conscious, or trying to be conscious. I had this alternative experience, that is all about simplicity of the moment and perception, it didn't have to be coherent with anything at all, just being, taking part in life, without the mind dissecting it, putting filter on it. It is just all simple, when the mind is at rest. There is something in this state, when I don't need to know whether I have anything having my back or not. I feel a connection, but I don't feel I got my back, because actually there is no back.</p>
<p>There was this prognosis that there will be storm here on the previous weekend. Everybody got prepared, were really serious about it, and then there was just a bit of rain and that was it. There were a lot of jokes about it later, but I got my message, internally. The flow is unpredictable. So I let it go. Whatever happens to me or in general, you know. It is okay to not have my back :-) It is easier to free-fall like that.</p>
<p>Love and a big hug,</p>
<p>Lia <3</p>

I had an "experience".</p>
<p>Several days ago there was a seminar... Did you know that ganglia, in PNS, despite being totally able to survive on their own, yet, if are not connected to others, die? So I thought the lesson is that of connection and interdependence. But that's the big fear. Huge. It is all about survival. And actually, so sad, this connection is what eventually killed them, it is like being betrayed by love, what they felt as one big endless field of love, so aesthetic, so close to the truth, how could they know it was just a limited and distorted version of the real thing that totally pulled them away from the source? This is tough. We see it here all over the place. Probably, we all experience it to some extent, and the deep, painful disappointment connected to it too.</p>
<p>I am feeling very sad and, at the same time, happy that there is an open way for this.</p>
<p>There is something else to "rely on", even though it is ever-changing and totally not definable...</p>

<p>On a personal note, this is interesting: in the mid 70's, when I was a little child, film strips for children were very popular in Hungary. There were a lot of them, but I was especially drawn to one particular film. This was about planets/stars, of which I was obsessed with only one, I clearly remember - and yes, it was Sirius. </p>

<p>This stands out very strongly from your post...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>it is like being betrayed by love, what they felt as one big endless field of love, so aesthetic, so close to the truth, how could they know it was just a limited and distorted version of the real thing that totally pulled them away from the source?</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>That's a big one for sure. I've witnessed plenty of times how "love and light" becomes like a soft de-energising blanket, that actually demotivates from important directional change.</p>
<p>Synchronicity is always the objective voice of the Universe though - and profound self honesty. If we're prepared to be profoundly honest with ourselves, who we are, and what we're really about, then synchronicity will speak - and although the way forwards may be tough, we'll find a way to the truth.</p>

<p>It can also go much more subtle, like with simple, grounded human love. Suddenly, caught in this comfortable, cosy bubble, addicted to oxytocin, not a free, sovereign being sharing experience, but a kind of hybrid, interlocked, interdependent, committed to something else rather than the One thing that we all have inside. The sensitive soul will eventually crack or blow it, the disempowerment of it will become obvious.</p>
<p>I love this one, one of the most painful, but also one of the most liberating. This is one of the big things that reveal what 'love', without all the romanticism, ideas, ideals, imprisonments, obligations and attachments is truly about.</p>
<p>I believe this distortion has a big part in all this 'empathic' Sirian confusion, where the boundaries between the souls lie, because there is one big interconnected wave, yes (the Sirian connection is a distorted replication, which, after a good dive can take to the real thing), but also there are boundaries and each soul has its guidance and path, so no matter what, parents, children, spouses, friends... this dependent, limiting bond-age is restrictive. It is really hard to fully admit and feel it, because it brings to suffocation, accept it, because this is when it lands how disempowering it is to everybody involved and how it cuts the real thing off, and let go of it, because it feels like your very being is shred to pieces and blown to bits (separation from other souls), with the following sense of isolation. But then... IT can infuse, and spiritual sanity is restored.</p>
<p>There are so many flashes how this consciousness took forms in realities, so many manifestations, so much pain and destruction. Something so beautiful, even magnificent, all this Sirian striving for perfection, smoothness, 'harmony', cleanliness, aesthetics (looks like these also belong to the Sirian pile), that is so incredibly poisonous and destructive. Amazing. Definitely worth diving into!</p>

<p>You said this...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>This is one of the big things that reveal what 'love', without all the romanticism, ideas, ideals, imprisonments, obligations and attachments is truly about.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes indeed - the all encompassing "love" - yet you only truly get to know all the layers of it when, when you're prepared to break down the distortions in it - I believe this can only probably happen when you progressively establish sovereignty in it - which might well mean 'pulling it apart'. That's certainly where I've learned most, seen all the layers, observed all the inner deceptions. When all the obligations are gone, all the attachments dissolved, that's when you discover what true unconditional love really is - what you really would do for another when all the 'investments' are gone. I believe this is a major inquiry of the Sirian archetype due to what happened when the starsystem ripped apart.</p>
<p>You go onto say this...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I believe this distortion has a big part in all this 'empathic' Sirian confusion, where the boundaries between the souls lie, because there is one big interconnected wave, yes, but also there are boundaries and each soul has its guidance and path, so no matter what, parents, children, spouses, friends... this dependent, limiting bond-age is restrictive. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Yes - I too see this, a bonding restrictive attachment that masquerades as 'empathy'. And it also presents as inertia - a holding back from taking the steps that are really invited.</p>
<p>You say...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>It is really hard to fully admit and feel it, because it brings to suffocation, accept it, because this is when it lands how disempowering it is to everybody involved and how it cuts the real thing off, and let go of it, because it feels like your very being is shred to pieces and blown to bits​​​​​​​.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>You got it in one - the underlying feeling, that when you have the courage to step into sovereignty as a soul, it feels like being ripped apart - that underlying Sirian karma then stops people taking the path of sovereignty because it challenges the (distorted) sense of empathic love - it feels wrong to break the tethers, because it feels wrong to break what you've come to know as 'love'.</p>
<p>My sense is that what we're talking about is truly ancient group karma here. The Sirian Archetype is one of collective group consciousness - there was much greater etheric interconnectivity than what you witness in humanity today. It was more a collective soul. But there comes a point in the journey of the soul where a collective does evolve to the point of dividing into separate, sovereign ones. You witness it happening today in animals around us - many species are developing much greater individual personality - a sign of sub division and sovereignty.</p>
<p>My sense is the Sirians clung to each other still. And that this was karma was also exploited by their "elites" just as here on Earth today - bright cosmic souls are being lured and trapped into technology - their consciousness swamped at a superficial level by smart phones and 'social' media. It's that 'clinging' to past realities and exploiting the resources of the system to the nth degree that made it all so unstable, which I believe is the cause it all exploded the way it did.</p>
<p>It's time to go deep within, truly peel off the distortions and get to know who we truly are at a soul level.</p>
<p>Thankyou for the inquiry - I have a lot of respect for the depth you've dug into.</p>

<p>What you wrote about sovereignity - the paradox here is that this is the only way to find out the true interconnectedness, but not as disempowered, fearful, dependent beings, but as Gods - everybody is a mini-God, and the thing is to find out what would happen if we treated ourselves and others as such? So we create instabilities. Instabilities are the key for life, for change, for evolution, on all levels. When I remove myself out of the way of the whole, and other Gods' way, I see myself and my process, the path of my soul. Yes, I am affected, but I am also responsible for my choices, not for others. This is another big one that dissolves with the Sirian consciousness - control. Trying to affect others. It becomes sacred. Everybody's choice is sacred to the soul, even if it means it will get hurt or devastated. This is the meaning of respecting co-creation. Self-sacrifice is then "right", because it respects the freedom of others and is not veiled by fear and also doesn't bend itself for others. But it also doesn't bend others for itself. This is one of the toughest to shift... This is the one I am dealing with right now.</p>
<p>The right self-sacrifice.</p>

There is a deep acknowledgement inside of the influences I have been feeling...the sticky bonds of familial and friend/tribe connections and how that has felt more important than the individual journey - a sort of sacrifice of individual expression for the cohesiveness of the whole...a sacrifice of the potential higher reformation of the energy in the unwitting holding to the lower one. </p>
<p>The pulling apart has felt like losing parts of myself and now there is a crippling sense of paralysis and perceived disability...when I stay with it I feel panic and hard to breathe...getting pulled into distraction and habits to ease off the intensity. I don't "get" this feeling of feeling unfunctional as an individual...like there is a barrier between me and those I would interface with that I have a hard time navigating. The sense of family loss leaves a nakedness and unfamiliarity - like learning how to interface all over again without the comforts of that connection. Strange feeling to feel like a pillar rather than a net. </p>
<p>I have no direct sense of Sirian connection...but I do feel the influences you describe especially in the lower two chakras. </p>
<p>Someone - you articulated it all so well...giving words to the experience in a way that I really relate with - thank you for pulling the feelings into something more tangible.</p>

<p>Yeah, the breathing hehe It is a biggy. The only couple of things I can say here are:</p>
<p>1) I was fighting for my breath a lot, got to the hospital a couple of times too, and one good tip I can give is - let it be, or NOT be. All this "let's rely on our breathing" in meditation practices is very nice, but what if you CAN'T breathe?? Now when the suffocation arrives I just don't breathe for as long as it takes. And actually, within that window, for as long as it takes, I get to feel and see many other things. For example, the agony of feeling the whole "network" of souls dying. Imagine. Feeling not only my own suffering, suffocation, death, horror, grieve, anger, and many other interesting sensations, apart from suffocation, when the whole structure is decomposed, dissected, split, but that of myriads of souls I am connected to. Empathy can be a bitch hhh It is not surprising many feel cursed by it here on earth. After something like that you just naturally don't want it, the soul is traumatised by it. Or when seeing all the perfect world you've built together collapsing... So, not breathing stops being a problem. It is really minor.</p>
<p>When you can't breathe, just don't and start noticing what else is going on, what else you're feeling...</p>
<p>2) If you don't struggle to breathe, at some point it will happen on its own. It happens when it happens</p>
<p>3) If it doesn't, then it is emergency, and other new interesting things will pop up in flashbacks or new challenging experiences and sensations will appear, like , in my case, how it feels to be dependent, to rely on others for survival, bright lights into eyes, being treated like some kind of "bio-machine", being stuffed with drugs against my will, disempowered by the system, watching my body changing, losing control over it, feeling like somebody is experimenting on me, I am not the bright, arrogant, superior specie out of sudden, and the irony is that everything comes back to you indeed hhh, many, many other very important things, flooding other karmic experiences, - everything is a part of the process.</p>
<p>In general, for me, at this point, it is all about being okay with being totally alone and walking alone.</p>
<p>I got a confirmation of it when I saw the posts on the web. We are okay, we are okay on our own too.</p>
<p>Hugs</p>

<p>We're right there with you! <img alt="Heart" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/2764.png" title="Heart" width="20" /></p>
<p>I think a lot of the starsoul archetype perceptions have been hugely glamourised in the spiritual manistream - you only tend to hear the 'good' stuff, and not the karmic challenges. I see this Sirian legacy in many places - and it doesn't matter what name we put to it. Although I sense these bonded farternal/familial legacy weaves are coming to the surface now as we progress through the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_We%27ve_entered_the_Inflexion_Point_in_the_5D_Shift">Inflexion Point of the Shift</a>.</p>
<p>You said...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The pulling apart has felt like losing parts of myself and now there is a crippling sense of paralysis and perceived disability...when I stay with it I feel panic and hard to breathe.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>To me, the description reflects very classic Sirian karma. The reality became unstable and literally tore itself apart. There will be lots of sense of fragmentation of soul in this. I hear these symptoms often; not being able to breathe for example - suddenly the very air you're breathing disintegrates, you might feel like a fish out of water. There'll be shock, disbelief, paralysis. I know this is a tough one to take, but to me, the gas chambers of the Second World War were the remanifestation of this karma.</p>
<p>You said...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>The sense of family loss leaves a nakedness and unfamiliarity - like learning how to interface all over again without the comforts of that connection. Strange feeling to feel like a pillar rather than a net. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Go with it Jen. I know it's tough - I've experienced similar from my own "Team" disconnect, when being projected into realities. Trust that there's a way through all this - your soul will carry you through the storm of it. Just keep working deep into the feelings and taking one step at a time. Even if you can't make sense of it, your soul will start to harness the flow through it, then progressively shape a more aligned landscape around you. In times to come, around the corner, as you look back, the 'dots' of realisation and soul integration will have all joined up - so 'tie yourself to the pillar of self-realisation'.</p>
<p>Know that you're not alone - you are seen, heard and understood. You are supported in the ether - but as you know, it's something we each have to personally work through.</p>
<p>Sending much love and support</p>

So thank you for writing this Open :)</p>
<p>I personally over the last few several months felt as if something keeps arising in me and at first I wanted to stifle the hell out of it, thinking "Oh Great!! Ive just done lost it now... Ive bought the farm and never going to find my way back!" I keep feeling like my soul, wants to be something, that I just don't feel it is and its so hard to explain and so this past week I cut off everything and everyone I know so I could just go deliberate with myself, which sounds insane, but its not. At first I could feel this panic and pull, but the longer I retained my distance the better I felt, yet I feel so selfish in that as well. I had to come to a point where I just said NO! I am from nowhere, I am from everywhere and I am nobody, yet I am origin. I don't want to be boxed in nor defined and to ....... with anyone or anything that tries to do that to me! It's like I want to close all stories, how odd is that?!</p>
<p>I cant say for certain, but I think it might be o.c perhaps trying to tie me into to something that I wont be tied/hooked into. Is it possible they are trying to figure me out or something?!! I get some pretty random questions sometimes in my head and trying to follow to where its coming from gets lost, yet at other times I do know where questions originate.</p>
<p>Oh and Someone - That Siriuser at Sirius, hilarious and I love it!!! Seriously fun!</p>
<p>Soo heyas to all out there too!! This is me waving before I go back into my cave of solitude hehe :)</p>

<p>Hi everyone,</p>
<p>I’m very intrigued by this Sirius topic that has received a lot of attention here lately. And I’m trying to figure out whether this has something to do with me as well. Unlike some of you, I don’t have any memories of a Sirian existence, but I have a lot of strange other pieces that maybe echo a past Sirian life. Maybe you can help me connect the dots if I reveal them here.</p>
<p>*During my awakening, about 2 years ago, I had a powerful vision of the goddess Isis. She surged through me from bortom to top and had me say over and over “I am the goddess Isis, and Bennu is my son!” Before this I didn’t even know who Isis was, except by name. So naturally I googled her and her story, and one thing I found was that she was perceived to be the soul of the star Sirius by the ancient Egyptians.</p>
<p>*A few weeks later, I had a session with a psychic healer, working through a personal life theme. Betrayal and abandonment. The session took us back a few life times where the theme was prevalent and at the end we weren’t on Earth any more but on a different planet and she saw me as an “aspect of Isis” and asked me if Isis’s story involved betrayal somehow, and of course I knew it did, as I had recently read about her. The psychic’s conclusion was that this particular theme originated all the way back there, but that’s all she could say at the time. She couldn’t comprehend it any further.</p>
<p>*Many years ago, long before I knew anything about awakenings or 5d shifts, a good friend of mine had a psychotic episode in which she completely “lost her mind” and had to be admitted. But here is the piece that sticks with me to this day. Before the actual psychosis, which had to do with repressed memories from a previous traumatic event, she began having spiritual experiences. And she was telling me all kinds of things, about visions she had, voices that were speaking to her, symbolism and synchronicities. But more clearly than anything, I remember the car that came to take her to the hospital and the company name written in big letters. A name that made my friend laugh hysterically with recognition when she saw it and uttered it, and therefore caught my attention to the point that I would never forget it - SIRIUS.</p>
<p>*Ever since the 90’s, and the introduction of mobile phones and the internet, I have had a very strong resistance to technology. Like a premonition that this development is potentially negative and even dangerous. And now I can see how it begins to “own” people. How they think they’re evolving with every new gadget and update, but in fact they are losing themselves and their sovereignty more and more. Spun and trapped into a dehumanising “wwweb” of control and programming. (No pun intended.)</p>
<p>*Even though I have a strong connection with the Divine inside me, at the same time I have a feeling of having lost trust in it. Of having been separated from it in a brutal way, perhaps against my will. I can see and feel a chord that has been severed. And after exploring and unwinding my childhood issues involving this theme, I still see the severed chord and the feeling with it that runs deeper and beyond this lifetime. It’s the feeling of a marionette, dependent on the thread to its master, that suddenly gets cut off and just crumbles to the floor, completely disempowered.</p>
<p>This is also connected to a lifelong issue of having trouble manifesting. I’m a highly creative individual. I can create infinitely inside my being, words, music, projects, ideas, all of which could so easily be materialised in the outer world. BUT, it just doesn’t happen, because at the end of each inner creation, I find myself standing at a big deep dark divide. I’m on one side of it, and I can see the other side clearly, but I can’t reach it, not of my own accord. The connection, the bridge, is not visible to me. And therefore my creation either falls down the great divide and disappears or remains inside me, sadly, unmanifested.</p>
<p>As I’m writing this, I’m actually making quite a big realisation. I suddenly understand why I have so diligently pursued the performing arts in my life, as opposed to the creative arts, which is where my true soul essence actually lies. In the performing arts, I only needed to manifest someone else’s creation, not my own. I also understand now all the obstacles down this path. The difficulties, the chain of physical injuries, that eventually forced me in a different direction. A little while ago my guides explained to me that the physical injuries were necessary to divert my course, that this wasn’t the right path for me. I suddenly just realised why...</p>
<p>Thank you for providing me with the space to write this and thank you for reading, whoever does. If you have any thoughts on the Sirius puzzle, please share them with me.</p>
<p>With love,</p>
<p>Anastasia </p>

I had nearly the same experience after I guess they call it the "wake up!" This was awhile back as well. I too have had abandonment and betrayal experiences but I only own them in the aspect that they are truth. I had to come to a place though where I just said nope, I will never ever abandon or betray my own self. The entire world might do that to me, but I will not. Especially after learning how I had been judging my own self so harshly, that was horrific to know.</p>
<p>As far as Egypt and those times, you gol!! BE that if it brings you anything you need for you! I experienced/saw the vision of someone in those times. I heard a voice saying that was who I was, this was what I did etc. I don't want to say the name though here. I have a hard time writing anything online without feeling, experiencing/hearing and sometimes even seeing some inquisition that does not reflect who I am right here and right now! Yet what I did in regards to the rising up within my soul was just say, OK then. That was then and this is what I know and learn from it. I will honor something though here, I will give a shout out to the Eye or Horus for the gift given to my Mother for me right before I was born. Its a ring I have had my whole life and my Mother gave it to me right before she died some years back and told me a story about it. Ive only recently though started to call it the eye of horus because the gem is huge and kind of looks like an eye just watching out for me for which I am ever so grateful!</p>
<p>But maybe this whole sirius thoughtform/entirety is just that, a reflection to work though, honor and give respect to oneself? I'm also a highly creative person, constantly creating and when I see the huge chasm, the dark void, I just jump right in and just say Woooooooooo! But then again I find alot of solace in the dark.</p>
<p>Anyways, much love to you Anastasia!</p>

<p>It’s nice to meet you and read a part of your story. It is a powerful act to stand up and say “The entire world might do that to me, but I will not!” How did that change you and your life, making a conscious declaration like that? </p>
<p>Also you wrote “I too have had abandonment and betrayal experiences but I only own them in the aspect that they are truth.” What do you mean when you say you only ‘own them in the aspect that they are truth’? </p>
<p>Moreover, I giggled when you complimented my boldness, for the truth is that every time I post something here, afterwards I feel like I just threw myself off a cliff and I’m plummeting towards my death. ?</p>
<p>It makes it worth it though, just to learn that someone out there has a similar story to share. A parachute of encouragement to help me land a little softer. Thank you. </p>
<p>And it does get a little bit easier with each time. Maybe next time I’ll follow your example and just go Wooooooo! ?</p>
<p>With love,</p>

<p>Thanks for reposting this article. It’s always fascinating to go back and reread something you reacted to in a certain way before and discovering you’re in a different place now, seeing and understanding new and much deeper levels.</p>
<p>One thing that strikes me throughout the article is that the archetypal Sirian challenges and themes described, carry a remarkable similarity to a certain energy we’ve discussed here at length lately - The ‘black snake’ energy. Would you agree with this?</p>
<p>This is interesting, because I was under the impression that the black snake energy was earthbound or something created here on Earth. But perhaps it carries roots all the way back to Sirius, or perhaps the black snake energy was manifested here as part of a reality construct for all those souls needing to re-examine karmic lessons from the mess created on Sirius? I don’t know. What do you think? Do you also see this possible connection?</p>
<p>As for myself, I’m quite sure I have karma related to Sirius, that my whole soul family does. In a dialogue I had with my soul family recently, I learned that I was here processing karma not just for myself, but for them as well, as part of a collective consciousness. They explained there was such a strong empathic connection between us that we could move in and out of each other and ‘help out’ where help was needed and allowed. So as I am here working out certain aspects for them, in return they can move in and assist me when certain skills are required, kind of like an ongoing exchange program 😊. “We ascend together”, they said. “We don’t leave anyone behind.” For some reason this was really important for the healing of this collective karma. Does that make sense? Has anyone else experienced this?</p>
<p>Last but not least, a few times now, I’ve read/heard you mention that during the circumstances on Sirius, souls were ‘dumping’ karma. What does that mean? How did they do that? Is that even possible? Don’t you just create more karma by doing that? Would you mind elaborating a little more on that please? Greatly appreciated 🙏🏻</p>
<p>I also want to let you know that a lot of intense past life memories have been coming up after the Intensive in Köln. Suddenly I’m seeing my whole present life, my motives, my relationships, the events that have taken place, from a totally different perspective. Thank you for the work you did.☀️</p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Anastasia</p>

<p>Yes indeed, there are reflections between the Black Snake energy and the Sirius Archetype. Although in my view, they are different. My perspective is that the BS energy plays on and amplifies the Sirius distortion (as it does with many distortions here). To me, the Sirius distortion is quite straightforward when I observe it. Whereas the BS energy is much more fluid, and shape-shifting, thereby very deceptive in the way it causes people to make/distort choices (by the way, I definitely see BS energy as an Earth energy that was an original elemental - although it could also have come from elsewhere in the cosmos to be here).</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Which leads me to the advice you feel you're getting from 'soul family'. Firstly what I would reflect is that we're not here to process someone else's karma. If so, what is the need or point of the soul we're processing for? Since the processing of the karma leading to enlightenment is the journey and purpose of being for that soul - processing their karma for them (assuming that's possible) takes that purpose for being away. However, that said, I do witness we are able to process genetic or 'blood line karma'. This is not karma of the soul, but of the bodily vehicle itself or energy built up within it. But this is a crucial difference to soul karma.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The same applies when we speak of 'ascending together'. Who decides to limit the soul in that way? The soul is free flowing naturally. It is evolving uniquely. That is its purpose for being. It may well naturally empathise with others and work to support groups of souls, but it feels to me that the, 'we ascend together' view, is a gross distortion. I've heard it frequently in the spiritual mainstream, and personally, I see it as another Black Snake deception - designed to limit those souls who are ready to ascend, and bind them all into one group, within the inertia of the old reality construct, albeit a slightly changed one. It often comes with a sense of obligation or responsibility. It plays on the sense of divine service authenticity. What I witness is, that as shifts happen, waves of souls naturally draw together and then inspire a shift within that group. Some will be ready, and some not. But even within a soul family, all souls will be at different places in their journey, and will likely span through different dimensions.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>What I'm witnessing within the Openhand work as I travel the world working within the Shift, is that there most definitely is a wave of souls preparing themselves. And this is quite different from the myriad of mainstream 'pundits' pontificating about the Shift, talking about it on an intellectual plane, influencing millions (limiting many), but don't actually appear to be truly encouraging self-realisation or even making those changes themselves. For example, they'll point to problems in society, like the 'cabal' for example, and how we can change it in a 'doing way' (to arrest them for example). But this then distracts the soul into the plane of the intellect and into doing. Without actually solving the issue - the cabal is only there due to internal lack of self-realisation. </em></p>
<p><em>The wave of souls that are readying themselves, come from a wide range and very diverse spectrum. They are neither Pleiadeans, nor Sirians nor Adromedans nor Orions etc etc etc. They are each unique souls that seem to have had diverse experiences and influences from different constellations.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>It leads me to another point, and that is what we might call Benevolent Guidance. How does this truly work? If a soul is here to self-realise, would benevolent guidance make such strong and influencial suggestions? (such as 'we ascend together' and 'we process each others karma'?). The risk is that this highly influences the soul. In the Openhand higher dimensional team, this doesn't happen. Whenever there is something to be figured out, reflections are offered on the nature of being, or a perspective of a particular reality construct. But then always the invitation... "How do you feel to be in that?" "How does your soul feel to respond?"</p>
<p>So personally I would be careful about taking such strong 'advice', even if it does proport to come from soul family - personally I would be testing the autnenticity of the guidance. Often BS energy, for example, will dance within those energies - guessing that we'll take the 'eye off the ball' so to speak. It has, in the past, inserted distorting filters within my connection to the Openhand higher dimensional team. Which is how I became aware of how it works.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>In terms of 'dumping karma', what they (the Sirians encouraged by the Annunaki) actually did (in my knowing), was more to dump the energy of the karma. You could view it this way, in terms of a balloon rising: the balloon (as the soul) has ballast on the ground connected by tethering. The ballast is released from the tethering and so the balloon can rise. But the tethering is still there (where the soul is unrealised and can still get stuck). So as the balloon moves, the tethering could still get stuck somewhere else (in a metaphoric 'tree' for example), which snags the balloon and then creates more karmic ballast. So karma always has two elements: the unrealised aspect of soul, and the ballast it creates. Healers will often remove the ballast (which removes the symptoms of pain) but without supporting self-realisation. And so the issues simply defers into something else and regenerates. I've seen this a great deal within the Sirius Archetype - because of an unwillingness to actually confront the pain of attachment.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>At the end of the day, it's essential we all self-realise. We can reflect and share perspectives, yes, but the encouragement must be for each to realise their own truth in it. Therefore, feel free to completely disagree with everything I've said!</p>
<p>Much love</p>

<p>Thank you for your elaborate reply. I do love the fact that you’re so bluntly honest about things. Naturally, it encourages me to explore a little further, both with you and with myself.</p>
<p>First, I just have to say that I had to chuckle several times while reading your response. Not because of the content, but because of the way you referred to the ‘black snake’ energy as BS energy. You see when I lived in the States, we used to refer to ‘bullshit’ as BS. So every time, you said ‘BS energy’, in my ears it sounded like ‘bullshit’ energy (It still cracks me up actually, LOL! ). I don’t know why I find this so hilarious, maybe because it’s kind of befitting, the way this deceptive BS energy ‘bullshits’ you around all the time. Any ways, let’s get Sirius about things :-) </p>
<p>The last couple of days I’ve been trying to feel into what your response activates for me. There is no better catalyst than someone who disagrees with you or questions the validity of what you present. Since I value and respect your ‘expertise’ very highly it serves as an excellent measure for me to test, how does my ‘truth’ hold up in relation to an opinion of a (through my eyes) perceived ‘Master’? The first thing I notice, is that I don’t immediately crumble emotionally. Although it fires off a strong intellectual activity, I find that my emotions remain quite calm, which a few years ago would not happen. I would go into all kinds of feelings of emotional breakdown - worthlessness, self-doubt, regret that I ever spoke, a need to defend my experience etc. I’m really glad to see that this isn’t happening, so there has been a considerable improvement in that area. Yes! Then of course there’s the issue with the intellectual plane which is a biggie for me and the main focus of my work right now. When I came home after the Intensive, I saw a black snake coiled up tightly around my solar plexus. Its purpose being to constrict the flow between my lower and higher chakras by ‘strangling’ the passageway. I could feel how the energy gets stuck in the density there and instead of continuing its natural path up or down through the chakras, it gets derailed into my head where it just spins around in circles until I finally realise what’s going on and take myself back out again. This happens over and over, but I find that I’m beginning to discover what’s going on a lot faster than I used to.</p>
<p>So moving on to your thoughts about what my soul family said to me and how I feel about that. I don’t find myself neither agreeing nor disagreeing, but rather holding the space open for exploration. If there’s something I’ve learned doesn’t serve a soul, it’s a fixed opinion or standpoint, so I need to keep it open until a ‘knowing’ lands of its own accord.<br />
What I do know is that the connection with my soul family felt very real. I don’t connect with them very often. It’s only happened a few times, and when it’s happened the energy and the presence has been so strong and palpable that I can’t doubt it. I’m quite clear about that. What could be explored though is the validity of the ‘information’ I received. As I see it, there are 3 key ideas that I felt they conveyed and to be honest, if any of it was a deception by BS, I’m the first that wants to know about it. So although I’m not doubting their presence, I can see how it would be possible for an opposing energy to ‘filter’ the information I received, causing me to ‘misinterpret’ certain things. The 3 key ideas they presented to me (in my interpretation) were </p>
<p>1) One soul processing aspects of some sort of collective karma</p>
<p>2) Being able to assist this soul by temporarily ‘moving in’ to aid them</p>
<p>3) The idea that “we all ascend together”</p>
<p>Nr 1)<br />
I don’t know if there can be a difference between individual and collective karma. I imagine you’d say that collective karma is built on the accumulation of individual karma and therefore must be processed individually, each his own. I totally agree with this, but in my dialogue with them I experienced an added dimension. In my understanding, apart from the individual soul and consciousness, there was also some kind of empathic ‘collective consciousness’ that ran between us. A kind of energy that could be felt by each of us at all times, no matter which dimension we were in. When they said I was here ‘processing’ aspects for them as well, it referred to this ‘collective’ thread, something we experienced together in this collective consciousness, not any individual challenges or issues. I actually had the feeling that they were slightly more evolved than I was, in the sense that they had already passed the challenges I’m facing and that they didn’t really need to be here anymore, but that there was still something that felt unfinished. Now that I come to think of it, ‘karma’ may have been a word I invented in order to somehow define the feeling that was being conveyed. It may have been that they meant ‘service’ as opposed to karma. That I was performing some sort of service for them as well whilst being here, apart from processing my own karma. Does that make any more sense?</p>
<p>Nr 2)<br />
As far as this one is concerned, this is true for me. It totally goes along the lines of my temporary walk-in experience that we talked about in Köln. For those few months that I was ‘visited’, I received so much help from this other consciousness. Suddenly, I had skills I haven’t experienced having before. I cut off and instantly dumped several life-long negative thought patterns. Conditioned behaviours instantly changed, childhood traumas were speedily processed, and I found myself spiritually evolving at a speed that didn’t really make sense. So there is no question in my mind that ‘someone’ was helping me process certain things in just a few months that would have taken years for me to process on my own.</p>
<p>Nr 3)<br />
Well, this one is interesting because the statement or the idea of "we all ascend together" means absolutely nothing to me. I don’t feel emotionally invested in it. If there is one of the Sirian archetypal influences that I don’t resonate with at all, it’s the one of feeling loyalty or responsibility towards a community. I have had romantic ‘fantasies’ about belonging and being loyal to a family or a community of some kind, but in reality the idea has never worked for me. Although very loyal in relationships, I’m a highly individualistic soul that will always go my own way. I have never feared breaking away from family, friends, communities etc., when I felt they no longer served. And I never had a problem just being in my own company. So, knowing this and knowing me, why would my soul family make that sort of statement? I’d say you could be absolutely right, Open! And although I still want to keep an open mind, I'd say it sounds a lot like BS to me :-)</p>
<p>I think that’s all the exploration I can handle for now. I invite you to add to it or tear it all apart if you wish. All perspectives welcome! </p>
<p>Love,<br />
Anastasia</p>

<p>Thanks so much for your detailed reply. And I'm so glad you didn't go into negativity about the inquiry from me. What I've gotten used to on the path - and would highly encvourage in others - is not being 'fixed in a truth'. Rather to see the journey as a constant refinement of one's truth. So this is neither 'right' nor 'wrong' - there's an expression of a degree of 'rightness' at this moment - so how can it be more aligned?</p>
<p>Turning to specifics, in no. 1) it makes much more sense to me if you change the word from collective 'karma' to collective 'service'. So a group being in service to a particular resolution. Also, once individual karma is processed (4th density), it's my experience and view that we do indeed move on to explore group karma but at a higher 8th density level. So for example someone might be working on the 'divine feminine' aspect within humanity. They work on it in themselves but their work may also then have a wider resonance through the field. I don't believe someone can work at that level until they've processed 4D karma, but upon reflection (from your inquiry), I do get the sense that you could work on 4D karma and that a group connected to you with higher vibrational awareness, might be able to process 8D group karma as a result of the overview. So I stand corrected in that view.</p>
<p>I think it's also important to also highlight, that higher dimensional guidances will come through one's own lower dimensional filters - particularly, taking a feeling or a knowing, and then unintentionally changing the vibration by putting it through a filter - which is where OC and BS (LOL!) energy likes to play tricks. BS energy is all about creating inertia to higher dimensional awareness. So if it can distort, then the risk is to get stuck in lower realisations and mind games for example - because the higher light gets tangled up in the inquiry.</p>
<p>In terms of the idea of "Ascending together", what I've felt in the field is that there is indeed a group of souls comming together and often unknowingly inspiring each other through resonance. The group isn't fixed in time and space - new souls come in all the time. But I do believe it certainly depends on where the individual is at on their personal journey. Then as a lose group forms in the ether, then the respective resonance of each can indeed inspire the others and accelerate the shift for that group.</p>
<p>What I was challenging, was that a fixed soul family from a particular constellation or for example the collective of humanity would 'all ascend together'. Within the human experience for example, there are very diverse souls from different backgrounds, experiences, constellations and all at varying points in the journey. So it's my strong view that waves will emerge. And that's my experience of previous constellations (although a fiction, the book "Mutant Message Downunder" conveys this really well).</p>
<p>Great to see you having the courage to inquire, infold, adapt and change - it's sure to give the BS energy a run for its money!</p>
<p>Much love</p>
<p>Open</p>

<p>Your GS odyssey with the accompanying green aura pictures was/is one of my favorite sharings of all time. To the point I am actually willing to use the term “sharing” for once. <img alt="Slightly Smiling" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Emoji Faces/Slightly_Smiling_Emoji_Icon_2.png" title="Slightly Smiling" width="20" /></p>
<p>Pretty cool - as soon as the impulse landed to share how meaningful your post was to me, I felt resistance because I didn’t want to sound overly sweet and complimentary for some reason, and “Sweet Annie” by the Zac Brown Band started playing.</p>
<p>With sickeningly sweet love, <img alt="Heart" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/2764.png" title="Heart" width="20" /><img alt="Call Me Hand" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Call_Me_Hand_Emoji_Icon_ios10.png" title="Call Me Hand" width="20" /></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">I suddenly remembered something that I had felt shortly after the whole Green Snake trip we both went on. Something I disregarded at the time. I recall paying you a deep-felt compliment on the way your sharings here made me feel. How your approach through your spiritual challenges excited and inspired me. (And now I’m sitting here contemplating whether I should really write this or not… f*** it, what have I got to lose?) Yes, I paid you a deep-felt compliment with the purpose of returning some of the positive energy that you had offered me. Interestingly enough, your next sharing, one or two days later, did not reflect my intended effect at all, but instead revealed you diving into and ‘dredging at the bottom of the barrel’, if you remember? (another post I really appreciated, btw). When I read that, I remember a distinct feeling that perhaps it was related to the compliment I had just recently paid you. I had/have no backing for this of course, and it makes me quite uncomfortable sharing it because I don’t want to make any assumptions or put you out there in any way, but when you just now expressed the current resistance you felt to offering a heartfelt compliment, the feeling came back to me. <p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">The reason I’m making this possible connection is because there have been some defining moments in my life where compliments were involved. I want to share one with you because it has been coming up for me as a hindsight reflection recently. Plus I just love these synchronicities. When I was in my early twenties, I trained to be a professional dancer. My last year at dance academy, we had an artistic leader/teacher who broke me down to the core. It wasn’t personal towards me. She was awful to most of us (the girls), but I think I was more sensitive to the constant criticism she was dishing out. When I graduated, I had absolutely no confidence I would ever make it as a dancer. I was too fat, too weak, my technique was too poor, my feet had the wrong shape etc. I felt completely worthless and I thought <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>there was no way any decent choreographer would ever hire me. <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>My very first audition after graduation was for a famous, innovative, highly popular choreographer at the time. It was a dream job for many. I got it. <p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">My first few months as a professional dancer went quite well. I compensated for my internal inferiority complex by working hard and disciplined and by eventually allowing myself to relax a bit, as I realised this choreographer had a much more open and compassionate approach towards us dancers than the school of Hitler I had graduated from. So far so good, until the day arrived that I received ‘THE COMPLIMENT’ <img alt="Anguished" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Emoji Faces/Anguished_Emoji_Icon.png" title="Anguished" width="20" /> (Now you have to imagine some dramatic music).<br />
Yes, the choreographer’s assistant and partner, the one who was basically doing all the work with us, approached me after rehearsal one day and said to me in the sweetest and most sincere way<em> “You’re really good and you’re doing such a good job!”</em><p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">What happened inside of me at that moment is hard to describe. It was as if two opposing worlds, two incompatible realities suddenly crashed into one another. The feedback mirror she so sweetly placed in front of me did not at all match my image or my experience of myself. It was an impossible equation that unleashed hell itself inside of me. I was literally face to face with all my demons. I did not have the spiritual skills or understanding at the time to deal with something like this, but I remember that moment as if it were yesterday. I couldn't see it then, but it was one of the most defining moments of my life. That which was meant as an uplifting compliment became an increasingly oppressive demand for me to live up to something my low self-esteem couldn’t match. Shortly after that I started getting serious pains in my calves. I had had minor problems there before, but now the pain was beginning to reach excruciating levels. The inflammation in the muscles eventually became so severe it began to initiate stress fractures in the bones. At this point, I had to abruptly quit dancing for several months, so as to not aggravate the injuries any further. Not to mention I could hardly walk. This forced leave of absence paved the way for my first complete psychological breakdown and what I experienced as my first ‘dark night of the soul’, which lasted a long time to come. <p></p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-GB" style="mso-ansi-language:EN-GB" xml:lang="EN-GB">It’s quite amazing, to be able to look back like this and see how it all interrelated. Recently, after doing a theatre performance, I received some positive feedback from someone that had serious meaning to me. It wasn’t about my performance, rather about how I answered a question from one of the audience members afterwards. There was a profound sadness that came over me at that moment, and as I felt deeply into this sadness afterwards, I found it came from the fact that I was deeply <span style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>touched by this inconspicuous but heartfelt compliment. It mattered, and it reminded me of that incident all those years ago when I couldn’t handle it. It also revealed to me that what I was given, was an honest feedback loop from the universe that yes, I was doing something right. And I'm happy to say that this time… I could receive it, I could look at it without cringing, and I could contain it inside myself. There was no crash, no collision, no mismatch. Just a humble feeling of gratitude.<img alt="Praying Emoji" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></span></p>

<p>Thank you for such a deep heartfelt inquiry. I have not answered the one you wrote to me ,yet because I still need to feel enough into what you said ( and because often these days my brain is the consistency of mush 😀😀😀) but I totally 'get ' what you say about accepting positive feedback loops as the gifts that they are. I have progressed from being closed down ,critical and dismissive of another's heart felt praise to allowing it to stoke the fire of my self esteem and self love . To nourish my soul . In that girl who felt two entirely different concepts colliding ,I see much of who I used to be . And still am. Just recently I could feel myself closing down when a mom tearfully and heart fully thanked me for being there for her child. In my head ,I was wondering what brought about a return of my old.pattern . It was perfection. Another kid was struggling and I was part of the team and I just couldn't relax enough to accept the compliment . </p>
<p>Thank you ! </p>
<p>Megha </p>

<p>Welp - to cut directly to it - your response and superbly authentic personal sharing helped catalyze some major shifts in me today. :) I can tell you why intellectually based on my own pattern recognition but that doesn't seem to matter right now. I just want to thank you for following your intuition and saying "f*ck it I'll post this", and share with you some of what you helped to catalyze just by stepping up and being you.</p>
<p>Highlights:</p>
<p>- Came out of meditation this morning feeling a little frustrated and impatient. "Only" made it 20 minutes before I felt like I had to move on with the day. I have been feeling areas of tension that want to unravel but they don't want to be noticed and work exceptionally hard to keep it that way. I recognized intellectually that I'm circling around my own lack of trust, but wasn't able to touch it within me.</p>
<p>- Had more contemplation arise around recent feelings of not being supported. In my career and within my marriage, specifically. The old tried and true perceived lack of worthiness. Self judgment. Cart or horse? Regardless we all know that drill. Ugh.</p>
<p>- I was energized to see you'd responded and read your post in segments. The first part was right before I hopped in the shower to get ready for work. Your question around "how do I feel about accepting a compliment" was first met with blankness by my mind at its level. A "hey - sure - I've been complimented on plenty of stuff and it's not been an issue... at least I don't think..." ..... then curiously I watched as my heart started to chew on it. And then it hit me. A million different experiences flooded in all at once and I realized that what I've been circling around is my own inability to <em>accept love. </em>The unconditional, divine kind - the one that loves me for me. Where joy arises spontaneously just for the sake of it. </p>
<p><em>- </em>I had just gotten in the shower when that realization landed to where I could begin to truly touch it internally, and the cascading water pouring down helped me grieve tears mixed with joy. That strange sense of grief that feels so good to release and feels beautiful to pour out. </p>
<p>- I drove to work and synchronicity followed me the entire way in. Between the music on auto-select and the physical world itself supporting me, I read the rest of your post in little pieces while driving. I also re-referenced several of our previous correspondence and it gave the experience a real "quantum" non linear feel.</p>
<p>- It was a bone chilling cold, grey, rainy day - perfect weather that held the space and allowed me to embody and express the pain of self imposed isolation and perceived abandonment.</p>
<p>- I got to the point Open would call being one with the pain to the point of not needing it to go away. The song "Yellow" by Coldplay was playing on auto-select. I was gagging, choking, screaming, then breathless. And suddenly I was aware of a black snake wrapped around my solar plexus. Without further ado I unceremoniously spat half of it out my mouth, and pulled out the rest of it with energetic arms. Then I crap you not it turned green in the light of day/awareness, and then traveled down the front of me and re-entered my base chakra and up my toroidal field. I then saw it as a revolving connected green circle of energy from base up to third eye and back again. (That escalated quickly; right?! That's what I was thinking at the time) <em>Edit: just now saw Open's Byron Bay post about "toroidal fields" - odd that that was the term I used in my notes from this morning to describe it since I've never used it before.</em></p>
<p>- My eyes were filled with tears I hadn't yet let fall, and they turned the dashboard of my car into a kaleidoscope of auric shapes and colors. I suddenly noticed lights around the console had turned into a connected blob of a giant green circle that dominated my entire field of vision. I blinked and let the tears fall and realized that my car (a Honda Hybrid that I'd bought just last week) had gone into Eco Mode and was charged up enough to run off its own battery/electrical source. It only turns Green when running off its own power rather than external fuel.</p>
<p>- Throughout the day I watched as many situations that I originally perceived as conflict turned to potential based on my own inner realignment.</p>
<p>- Tons of additional mini-realizations/experiences happened, especially now looking back at the entire breadth of the day. But bottom line - towards the end of the work day, the feedback loop is completed and the outline of my next Step is revealed!</p>
<p>Your compliment of how I "leave no stone unturned, no book unread" and keep going no matter what until full completion .... took on new meaning for me - experientially - today. Compliment accepted! <img alt="Sunglasses cool emoji" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Emoji Faces/Emoji_Icon_-_Sunglasses_cool_emoji.png" title="Sunglasses cool emoji" width="20" /></p>

<p>Thank you both so much for sharing.</p>
<p>Megha, my heart goes out to you and the challenging but wonderful work that you seem to be doing. I get the feeling you’re exactly where you need to be, and I kind of envy that a little bit. I still haven’t figured out what I’m supposed to be doing in this world. And don’t worry about not responding to my last post. I know the process isn’t linear. It constantly changes level and direction, and after being deep into something one day, new things will pop up the next and the energy will shift. It’s like the flow bounces you around giving you bits and pieces, here and there, sometimes seemingly unrelated, but then suddenly it all comes together as a bigger piece of the puzzle. At least that’s how I experience it. (Or maybe it’s just a distortion, I don’t know.)</p>
<p>I can so relate to my mind being ‘mush’ these days as well. Yesterday, I completely FORGOT to go to work. I don’t have fixed work days and I work kind of sporadically, but THIS has never happened. I was deep into the toroidal flow of the ‘removing implants and entities’ meditation when I received a ‘Wake Up’ call from a colleague wondering where the heck I was. I was mortified. </p>
<p>It frightens me a bit because I find my attention withdrawing more and more from the 3D world, and it’s becoming harder and harder to function in it. I know I missed work because on some level, I couldn’t care less about it. There was no energy in it. Sometimes I’m afraid I will start saying or doing weird things in society around me that I won’t be able to control. Although I’m no longer attached to society itself, I’m still attached to ‘functioning’ in society, so when a thing like having to go to work completely slipped my mind, it really freaked me out. What’s next...?</p>
<p>Paul, Wow, what a sharing! I can only repeat my compliment from before and add to it. You’ve got some guts coming out like that, over and over! It touched something in me. I don’t know exactly what it is yet, but I feel something beginning to fall apart inside me. I’m coming face to face with something I didn’t know I was avoiding. I have been in an uncomfortable place ever since I read your sharing and I feel all the usual defence mechanisms wiring up. I hope I may have something to share with you soon that makes a little more sense. ‘Mush mind’ doesn’t work right now.</p>
<p>A deep heartfelt thanks to you both <img alt="Praying Emoji" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Praying_Emoji_ios10_020ec88e-ee33-496d-a95a-df23243cebf4.png" title="Praying Emoji" width="20" /></p>

<p>Although things are still a bit muddled up for me at the moment, there is one thing I can give you that stood out quite clearly from your sharing.</p>
<p>After the culmination of my epic adventure with ‘Eden’ - the Green Snake, I haven’t really seen her around that much anymore. Instead I’ve been frequently visited by her evil twin ‘Eddy’ - the Black Snake. ‘Eddy’ and I have been socialising quite a bit lately, dancing around with each other in circles and playing all sorts of games together. Mind games is a particular favourite of ‘Eddy’s’. I suspect because I’m still quite easy to manoeuvre and rarely win. Well, I’m getting kind of tired of always being a loser at these games and I’m also sick of ‘Eddy’s’ bad manners. Always showing up unexpected and uninvited, suddenly disappearing while we’re in the middle of something, and continually trick or treating me even though we’re way past Halloween. </p>
<p>So for a while now, I’ve been thinking about how to get rid of Eddy. I miss Eden and the way we interacted with each other, but it seems Eden won’t come around as long as Eddy is here. Whilst in the company of Eden, I was shown examples of how the Green Snake ‘turns’ black. But now I’m struggling with the reverse - how do you turn the Black Snake green again?</p>
<p>The answer literally jumped at me thanks to your generous sharing, which I’m so glad you wrote and posted. I had to read and reread this particular passage several times and smile again and again, as it was dawning on me. So here’s a loving extension of gratitude to you Paul and also to your new car, which by ‘shining its light’ is showing me the way forward... 😁🙏🏻</p>
<blockquote><p>It only turns Green when running off its own power rather than external fuel.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>That’s worth chewing on, isn’t it?</p>
<p>Lots of ‘green’ love 💚 </p>
<p>Anastasia</p>

<p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Wow, such deep sharings from everyone! Thank you! it’s been very useful to read those reflections!. Thank you Anastasia and Paul for you Green snake sharings. Fascinating! I have been noticing some signs regarding Eden, and the colour green (just today, I was freewheeling and saw a car with “Edenbridge”, written on it, along with three triangles, two red ones and one orange. Then afterwards there was the “Greenwich university” advert on a bus, and a green and white spiral ice cream. Still waiting for the dots to connect.</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">I found it significant how Anastasia, you connected BS with bulsh*t…This is because, the same day you posted about the connection with your soul family, after I read the comment, I was going to watch a movie with my partner. It was the day our internet router arrived and I was feeling somewhat intense pains in the head. I was quite irritable and couldn’t sit still. (This heightened sensitivity may likely relate to some “transhumanism” karma). We were considering what kind of movie we were to watch, and whatever my partner would say I would respond with “That’s bullsh*t”! Half-kidding, and half-expressing my irritability. I said it many times, along with other “swear words”, which is not common for me. Fascinating to see the reflection that the black snake energy was involved…potentially through our new black router box!</span></span></span></p>
<p style="text-align:justify; margin:0cm 0cm 8pt"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span style="line-height:107%"><span style="font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Well, in the end we ended up watching a movie that was about a female sociopath, “creating” her partners in her own standards, and in the end destroying their lives (and killing some of them) while deceiving the public’s opinion, making them look like criminals and her as a victim. The films ends with a very strong message of “Ha! I managed to deceive you once more!” It seemed like the black snake energy “deceived” us into watching the movie that wasn’t right for us [as I’m writing this, a pop-up notification appeared, saying “black Friday is ON”]. It left me feeling very angry at being deceived, along with being “humiliated”, and a sense to commit to be more conscious. Whatever the case, it seemed that the movie showed us great examples of how the BS energy works, including its efforts to create deception, its ability to disappear and reappear, and possibly that it wants to highlight its success, maybe to feed from potential frustration.</span></span></span></p>

<p>Great to connect with you and thank you for your sharing. I really enjoyed reading it. I laughed several times throughout, especially when you described your ‘BS’ interactions with your partner 😄.</p>
<p>It’s interesting because lately, I’ve also had the sudden urge to spit out words I no longer use. Almost like a Tourette’s syndrome. I used to swear quite a lot but after my awakening, I completely stopped, even on a thought level. So it’s strange this sudden urge has revealed itself again. It’s definitely BS if you ask me.</p>
<p>Like you, I’ve also been experiencing this heightened sensitivity you speak of. Suddenly, just the last two weeks, I hear and feel sounds and frequencies in the house I haven’t heard before, and a metallic fork landing on a plate next to me sounds like cymbals in my ear. Going to a shopping centre is almost impossible, as I feel like I’m locked in a big room with all kinds of brainwashing signals coming at me, trying to remodel my head. I literally feel like I can’t breathe after a while. I’ve been wondering if one reason for this sudden heightened sensitivity has something to do with the intense changes in our atmosphere right now, like the Solar activity for example? Perhaps you, Open, if you’re tuning in, might be able to answer that? </p>
<p>Anyway, great inquiry, Alexandros, and thanks again for making me smile 😊 </p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p> Anastasia </p>
<p>Ps. Do you also get these high frequency ringtones in your ear?They last for a few seconds before disappearing again. I’ve had those ever since my awakening. What is that? </p>

<p>
It's nice to connect with you- I'm glad my post made you smile <img alt="😃" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/f51/1/16/1f603.png" /></p>
<p>Regarding the ear ringing, yes I do hear those high pitched sounds too. So far I have experienced two forms of them. One of them is when there is not much noise around, like in the morning and evening. They can be quite loud and uncomfortable when its quiet! Is that the same for you? I remember exploring this here, and if I remember well Open suggested that it may be an implant (or hearing the energy field? I may be wrong with this!).<br />
</p>
<p>The other one, is I think similar to what you are describing, some kind of sound that appears for a few seconds, during everyday life (regardless of noise levels), and only lasts for a few seconds. Although I'm not sure I would describe it as high pitched. The sound is different from the first kind of sound. I found that this second kind of noise, appears when I am "lost in the mind", or losing presence in the moment. For example it happened many times when I am doing the washing up! It's usual during these "mundane" tasks that the mind wonders... Maybe because I want to go unconscious, as the task is quite boring! "Why do i have to do this!! I just want it to be over!" So I have recently caught this kind of noise coming when doing the wash up - probably an attack brought from me going unconscious? I also found this second kind of sound appearing when I'm over thinking and my mind trying to figure things out by over analysing.</p>
<p>
So these interventions - attacks can be the greatest teachers! So If I may offer a reflection in response to your question, whatever those sounds are, given that they may be some kind of interference, I guess I found it useful to notice the patterns of when these noises appear. What's has been going on during and before they appeared? Is there a particular pattern with these? And I guess most importantly what is it showing to me about me? What is my blind spot that brought in (and is highlighted by) the attack?</p>
<p>Interesting exploration! I hope this doesn't sound like preaching!</p>
<p>
Best wishes to you!! <img alt="😃" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://static.xx.fbcdn.net/images/emoji.php/v9/f51/1/16/1f603.png" /></p>

PS. Yes my name is indeed Greek- I come from Cyprus! I also like your name! Ressurection (or getting back up again!) I assume it's Greek too?</p>

<p>Thank you for sharing your own inquiry concerning these sounds. It’s given me a lot to think about and explore. </p>
<p>I’ve never experienced them as loud, noisy, or uncomfortable. More like what you describe in example nr 2. They come whenever and the tones vary in pitch, but are always on a high frequency level. I can be in the middle of a conversation with someone and suddenly I have to stop talking for a few seconds. It’s like an energy download that suddenly comes in that demands my attention - forces me to listen! Whatever I’m doing I have to stop and just receive it. Perhaps it is a reminder to stay present. I do have a tendency to ‘space out’ quite a lot when my soul isn’t being stirred or engaged.</p>
<p>It never occurred to me to try and track the patterns around when this happens. That’s really good advice and I will gratefully take it. It will be an interesting inquiry. </p>

<p dir="ltr">Hi Open,<br />
Thankyou for writing this article. I highly relate with the sirian archetype and all of the 4 key influences especially control and distortion in the solar plexus. That's a key one for me. Like you write" It generates tightness in the head, and contracting down in the solar plexus, experienced as head aches and nausea - classic symptoms of attachment, control and misaligned action. " I feel I'm experiencing and realigning lots of implants from my head. I believe I'm also self realizing through it. But is it possible that the implant may return if full realization doesn't occur. I ask because within days I have another implant more or less in the same area. One that always persist is in the third eye.<br />
In a relationship I have, I'm overly concerned about physical looks of the other. This is probably a conditioning and unrealistic expectation I have build up from my childhood and I'm making gross judgements based on this model. But there must also be some truth within it and I'm struggling to find what it is. The love affection and sexual urges I feel are affected by this judgements consistently. Yesterday synchronistically I found a black snake in my home which had never happened. So I think black snake energy maybe influencing this. What are your thoughts?</p>

<p>Good to connect with you again <img alt="The Sun Emoji" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Nature/The_Sun_Emoji.png" title="The Sun Emoji" width="20" /></p>
<p>Yes indeed, implants will most possibly reappear if self-realisation has not happened around that area of consciousness and soul has not been integrated. It's about bringing constant awareness to your field, to the extent that you start to feel the influence of entities as and when they might come in. That way you eject them and anything they might try to do straight away. Until that point of sensitivity, it's a journey of constant elevation of consciousness and integration of soul sovereignty.</p>
<p>(for anyone else reading, here's: <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/understanding-energy-implants-and-how-remove-them">Openhand's View on Entities and Implants</a></strong>)</p>
<p>Yes I do understand the fixation with physical looks in relationship. Perhaps when you're connecting in this way with people (perhaps particular people, such as a partner?), then work to be internal more and appreciating them from a soul level - see the beauty in the soul.</p>
<p>Have you considered a connection between the two points above?</p>
<p>So if you're appreciating beauty 'out there', does this make you go unconscious 'in here'? Because that could open the blind spots for some intervention to occur.</p>
<p>Wishing you well</p>

<p>It's great to connect with you too ❤️</p>
<p> </p>
<p dir="ltr">Indeed I appreciate her soul qualities. She is very open, empathic and honest and I feel our connection is very authentic. Above all I know this connection is divinely given by the universe and synchronicties click on from time to time like playing the right track on sterio at the right time. I feel the purpose much more than the egoic desires at those times. We both have common issues like beauty for instance. I have also taken several risk of telling my truth without exploding the connection like this one. And as far as I can see it has only helped in deepening the connection. The problem we have is that its a distant connection and we are only given to meet rarely and this is reason for lots of uncertainty. And I ask what would happen to the relation finally if we are physically not attracted at all. Last time was amongst family and their judgements and fixed opinions and maybe this was the cause of my on fixation on physical looks. I fall into the trap of comparing her with others and I know I only do this because I compare myself with others. This again stems from a feeling not being enough and perfectionism and the need to belong to the world and its ways. Between the family gathering I saw a black child outside my gate and we smiled and waved and at that instant I knew he was me when I was a child. Because I had some hurt as a child because of colour and maybe I'm seeing this in the relationship. This was not a problem at all when we were on our own away from all the watchful eyes. At that time I was far more immersed in the connection between and the deeper play to give importance to the looks.I don't ofcourse say this as a problem to be resolved because I can see how the soul flows even through all this fixation and how it's divinely given for both of us. This knowing creates a difference. I has this limited view that I'm only following the flow when I'm in my grace and expanded and thus always trying to grab this state. But lately this view are also challenged because I can see how actions and words taken from when I'm constricted also finally comes together in one piece.<br />
Yes I can see how the implants are connected to this fixation on external beauty. It's not just in looks but also other outcomes in creativity etc.</p>

And even though the greater picture might not be recognised or understood by the masses, nevertheless, it continues to influence us all, impacting every single aspect of our lives. Everything is consciousness. Everything is connected to the torsional flow which, no matter what density we find ourselves buried in, wants to compel our souls back to the source. For Gaia, the current transition means a massive shift of consciousness into the Fifth Density, which will leave no stone unturned.<br />
<strong><em>Right now, I perceive we've entered what's called the "Inflexion Point" in the shift.<br />
What is that and how might it be affecting you?...</em></strong></p>
<!--break--><h3>Manifesting a Consensus Karmic Construct</h3>
<p>We know that reality is woven together by 'strings' of consciousness, that all life forms from the background 'quantum soup'. Even though things appear as hard and separate and solid, these are perceptions in a consensus reality, which creates a karmic construct - <em>a crucible</em> - through which to learn evolve and grow.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>We're really walking through a hologram of light, which takes form according to our beliefs about the reality we're travelling through. Beliefs are based on perceptions formed from karma, which may be viewed as subconscious judgments we make of reality. But as the karma unravels at a collective level, then so too does the old reality construct, thus making way for a new vibrational paradigm to take shape.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/divinicus"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Divinicus.jpg" width="250" /></a>It's clear to me, that even though the majority have not yet processed their karma relating to old 3D paradigm, that an unstable situation has been generated here on earth, and an event line now initiated of irreversible 'trip switches'; which, through abrupt climate change, a pole shift and dramatic changes to our biosphere, will come to cleanse the earth in the 3D. The karmic construct will break down, and the sentient life which is ready will be ushered into the Fifth Density. As it becomes increasingly untenable to live on 3D earth over the decades ahead, those that are not ready for 5D Consciousness will reincarnate elsewhere in the cosmos - a process which has happened many times before, bringing whole populations here for example, when the Sirius star system broke down 120 million years ago through a dramatic ascension. In a Universe of constant change, change is the only constant!</p>
<p><strong>I've shared an insight, from personal experience, into this momentous cosmic event in <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/divinicus">Divinicus: rise of the divine human</a></strong></p>
<h3>Emergence of the "Rainbow People"</h3>
<p>I've just completed a <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Divinicus_Australia_Rise_of_the_Rainbow_People">World Tour</a>, working with evolving groups in Europe, Canada, America and Australia. It's always a great honour and privilege to be a part of people's journeys as they dump limiting belief systems, integrate soul, and expand consciousness into a higher paradigm of being. It always brings great joy!</p>
<p><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Divinicus%20team_0.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<blockquote><p><em>However, the 5D shift is no walk in the park! The movement of consciousness tugs on karmic tethering within ourselves, which has created relationships, careers and living circumstances. As we align with the shift, it challenges all those around us who still relate to the old reality. We're each having to make challenging choices as we step boldly forwards.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>A common theme amongst the "rainbow" people I've worked with, is the feeling of being "pulled in two different directions". There's often a sense of responsibility and compassionate connection to those still stuck in the old drama. At the same time, there's a yearning to shift on, and live the new <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_How_do_we_Live_the_Great_5D_Shift_in_Daily_Life%3F">5D consciousness of being</a>, one that unleashes authentic self and compassionately connects us to the interests of all sentient life. As we make this shift, we become a mirror to all those around, one that's not always convenient, and hence, especially now, you may find yourselves being judged and limited - held back - by the old consciousness. Just be aware this is likely to happen.</p>
<h3>The "Inflexion Point"</h3>
<p>I've been having a challenging time myself of late. <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/">Openhand, the organisation I work with,</a> is going through its own transformation. It's a shift from an old community construct, with quite a degree of attached inertia within it, into a dynamic movement of energy - a progressive flow into the higher paradigm of being. We're now embodying and living 5D consciousness as a reflective bridge, to those ready and willing to make the shift in their own personal lives.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>In the field I've felt the strongly resistant karma of the old construct, and at the same time, the vibrant shifting energy that wants to usher in a new beginning. Recently, I could feel a massive resistant blockage, which as I explored into, propelled me on an astral journey where I experienced becoming the shifting field itself. I traveled into a bottleneck, whereupon the words "Inflexion Point" were gifted by higher consciousness.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I remembered from past ascensions - that there comes a point in any higher dimensional shift, where there's a 'pulling through' of the old reality construct. It's like a tug-of-war, where the resistance of the old consciousness is equally balanced with the pull to the higher paradigm. It felt like travelling through thick gooey treacle, and because of the compression of soul through this choke point, it became really hard to perceive my usual guidance mechanism - to see the light at the end of the tunnel.</p>
<p><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Inflection%20point%201.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<p>In the diagramatic representation, we've entered the orange cross over panel, where a wave of souls are pulling toward the higher paradigm, but where the masses are pulling back toward the continuance of the status quo. Hence the very challenging energetic dynamic for all concerned (<em>the status quo cannot ultimately persist, it can only delay the inevitable that's now taking place).</em>.</p>
<h3>4 Key Ways the Inflexion Point might be affecting You:</h3>
<p>How do conscious people deal with this crucial part of the shift? Here are four key ways entering the Inflexion Point might be affecting you and how to deal with them...</p>
<blockquote><ol>
<li><em>Firstly, many around you will be unconsciously feeling the affects of the shift. Especially they will feel the pulling away of the very foundations - the karmic consensus construct - in which they've been living. This will create anxiety, doubt and fear. They'll be clinging onto the people and ways of being that they have been plugged into, yet are unable or unwilling to let go of. Do not let this hold you back! Let's be compassionate, yes, but remember the most compassionate thing we can do is to boldly live and reflect the higher consciousness. It demonstrates the new possibility they can become.</em></li>
<li><em>You'll likely be judged by those around you. It's because your very higher dimensional way of being offers an inconvenient reflection that people in your landscape then have to deal with. If they're not ready to embrace the message, usually the knee-jerk response is to 'shoot the messenger', so as to not have to deal with the inconvenient truth of what's going on. Remember one thing though: you personally create everything in your life that presents in the mirror. If you find yourself being judged, explore why you might be judging yourself?<br />
<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_When%20Judgment_and_Projection_come_Calling...How_to_deal_with_Them">Here's what to do when judgment and projection come calling</a></em></li>
<li><em>Thirdly the guidance mechanism that you've been used to following, will likely become increasingly stretched and challenged. We're entering a torsional vortex - the eye of the needle - where consciousness contracts down. Hence it can frequently be hard to see and feel the higher connection. Don't give up! Even as you find yourself in challenging situations, remember why you embarked down this pathway in the first place. Collect essential "totems" - power animals, divine gifts and symbols which reflect what the higher dimensional shift means to you. Keep tuning in, keep connecting.</em></li>
<li><em>Fourthly, you'll likely feel many times this sense of being pulled in two different directions - drawn into seemingly impossible situations It's important NOT to try to distance yourself from the discomfort it generates. Instead, pause, sit in the impossibility. Go within, right into the heart of the tightness. You're actually touching the convolution of the old consciousness inside yourself, and where it tethers into the field. Work within, explore any anxiety or emotional attachment. Work to unravel the blockage. This not only has a beneficial realigning effect in you, but also your surrounding field - you unleash the higher flow through it. (<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/breakthrough">Check out Openhand's Breakthrough Approach</a>).</em></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<h3>Rainbow People facilitating the Shift</h3>
<p>My friends, the only way out is through! There's an incredible way of living and being, which you know in your hearts, that is yet to be fully actualised and lived. The new Fifth Density paradigm is a bounteous place of mystery miracles and magic. But we first have to assist Gaia in this massive shift - to play our part in this "pull through' of consciousness, which is currently at the critical Inflexion Point. It won't serve the earth, nor anyone on it, to slip back into the old status quo and try to perpetuate it by grasping at last ditch straws (<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/transformation_humanity_reclaiming_spiritual_power_video_openhand">be that by geo-engineering, GMO or controlling populations</a>).</p>
<blockquote><p><em>We must each now be bold, step up and play our part in the shift. If you're reading this, the likelihood is you're already an energy worker or are ready to become one. Know that the changes you make inside yourself, ripple into the field all around you. Know that you have the capacity to tune into choke points, feel them inside of you, and bring your consciousness to bear by unraveling them. Know that you're bring a positive influence to all life around you.</em><br />
<em>You are amazing!</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>And you are not alone. Although it's typical that energy workers are spread to the four 'corners' of the earth, and thin on the ground, nevertheless, we connect through the ether to others all around the world - a family of "Rainbow People", all facilitating the shift.</p>

I wanted to add something that has been helpful for me. As we may notice and collect totems that remind us of the energy, I have found it important to notice the totems we are holding onto in our life that no longer resonate with us and to let them go - perhaps even offering in a ceremony if it feels right. I have found certain jewelry and memorabilia that reflects and holds in place old consciousness within me. Obviously it's not enough to get rid of it, but reflect and feel where and how it is attached inside...what are we holding onto there? </p>

<p>It very much explains some of the things I have been experiencing here lately - and if it's going the way I know it has to go, it's not going to get any easier in the very near future. Thanks for the reminders to stay vigilant - yes totems are great, just as little 'tug' back into the higher consciousness. </p>
<p>I'm entering a period in my life now where I'm about to make major changes - I'm very likely to be hit by judgement from all sides as well as much anger. However, the situation I'm going into is a lighter one, for me. I'm hoping I can ride this period of adjustment out without getting sucked in - it's going to be tough I know.</p>
<p>Thanks for making things clearer.</p>

<p>These things are likely to happen, yes. I feel for you. But as you rightly point out, we can't let that stop us. When you go forwards in truth, although not easy, I've always found it amazing how things click in and somehow work out - it's seldom as bad as we might imagine it to be.</p>

What we're calling the "Inflexion Point".</p>
<p>It's highly likely there'll be a strong increase in very challenging symptoms in people around you. What might these be and why are they happening?</p>
<blockquote><ol>
<li><em>Firstly, the light is now starting to "pull-through" the old consciousness of the existing karmic reality construct. So as you attune to your personal path of light within that movement - you soul's path - then it can feel like being pulled in two opposing directions. Some choices will seem impossible to reconcile. In these times, my advice is to sit with the impossibility. Don't try to figure things out logically. Just accept the impossibility and see what it does inside. Then work through any tightening constriction. You unwind it, which then brings more light through the situation. As you do this, new creative possibility and opportunity will present - new ways and resources to help you move through.</em></li>
<li><em>There will likely be a lot of attachment, anxiety and fear at times around you. It's because people sense the pulling away of their foundations. Hold the space for people to express - hold a safe boundary for them to express into. Work to bring greater peace and acceptance.</em></li>
<li><em>There will likely be increased suicidal tendencies in people at times. Because there'll be an increase of despondency and hopelessness - the old reality is going downhill and there's a struggle to find the accelerating light. Keep reminding yourself (and others) of the beauty of life - that life is also in constant change and transformation. Work to let go and follow the sense of inner truth.</em></li>
<li><em>More people will likely suffer 'psychotic' tendencies. These happen as the mind struggles to cope with the unravelling of the reality they've been bound into. The ego struggles to find some new foundation. We need to hold the space for them, and keep reminding them of their inner light. Then that layer of ego can be allowed to collapse, which causes the fragment of soul caught in the old paradigm to reintegrate with the flow of light. A new, more stabilised consciousness emerges.</em></li>
</ol>
</blockquote>
<p>So here are just another few symptoms of the Inflexion point to be mindful of.</p>

I feel this to be a really important article - thank you! And also to say that I am feeling the effects of this 'inflexion point' in many situations in my life - and in particular with clients (and I'm wondering if other facilitators within the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/facilitators-network-click-on-image">Openhand facilitator network</a> will be feeling this too)?</p>
<p>I think that a lot of us felt for a long time that this time would come - when the 'two worlds' became pronounced and started, as it were, 'splitting apart'. It's sad in many ways - it's a period of profound loss on many levels - but this doesn't need to be a bad thing! Essentially it's a wonderful, magic-filled time with opportunities for much joy and expanded beingness, as we learn to let go into the new 5D world. And I feel for me that's the thing that helps those I'm working with the most - particularly those who are feeling a degree of desperation with the passing of the old (including, say, some terror, some shame, perhaps, or a feeling to fight to preserve the status quo) - the reality that we don't need to do anything sophisticated to move into the new... we really just need to give ourselves permission to be fully ourselves - no holds barred, learn to fully feel and learn to let go! But of course, sometimes it's the simplest things that are the hardest ones to do!<br />
Much love - and thanks again for this article! <3</p>

<p>This article I just want to say thank you for, Its very, very good and thank you as well for the diagram regarding the inflection point. I'm pretty sure I'm in this bottle neck inflection, kinda just floating up and down with life. Is not so easy to dive upwards per say when life is as life is sometimes you know.</p>
<p>Yet being pulled in 2 different direction?! My god I wish I only had 2 different directions. Sometimes I feel as if its 50 and all I want to just do is learn to be a hermit hehe :)</p>
<p>Anyways thank you!</p>

<p>Thank you for this article. Something you wrote here helped me find words for a feeling I have been having from some time.</p>
<blockquote><p>We know that reality is woven together by 'strings' of consciousness, that all life forms from the background 'quantum soup'. Even though things appear as hard and separate and solid, these are perceptions in a consensus reality, which creates a karmic construct - <em>a crucible</em> - through which to learn evolve and grow.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>A consensus reality would also mean that the way this reality shows us our karma and expects us to work through them is based on consensus. So our external circumstances for any soul is a function of its own karma and the consensus within this reality about how the results of karma should be dished to souls.</p>
<p>Many people in education now agree that different students learn in different ways and there is an attempt to change the way students are taught to account for this difference. But, perhaps, the way the karmic system seems to work is still the old school way. So the same kind of challenges are given to everyone regardless of whether these challenges would help the soul process their karma or it would actually create more harm. So souls at the minority end of the consensus spectrum may have to deal with two challenges: the OC and the way this reality dishes out challenges to process their karma.</p>
<p>This is a thought I have been having for some time but I don't know if there's any truth to it or if it's just way off the mark. Will really appreciate if you can share your views...</p>
<p>Thank You & Namaste!</p>

<p>I think the important thing to note is that karma isn't 'dished out' as such - it's not an intentional thing. It's the result of where the soul is at on it's journey. So in places where it's not self-realised - ie realising of the One Self - then karma creates and builds.</p>
<p>Everyone has unique and individual karma based on their own unique journey. And at the same time, there are group karmic themes that bring people together as a 'consensus'. Meaning the soul accepts to gather within a group and create a reality for a group exploration.</p>
<p>Where OC (Opposing Consciousness) is concerned, I observe it hones in on karmic blockages and exploits them. Which, at the same time, if we're prepared to own our own stuff, shines a light onto them. Meaning we then know what we have to work with.</p>
<p>I trust this helps</p>

<p>I do have one question though (I hope I am not asking too many questions :-)) - when a soul is processing its individual karma, how is it determined that the karma has been processed and the soul can expand where it was earlier blocked? Does the incarnated soul's Higher Self decide this or does it require some consensus among a group of higher forces or ascended souls?</p>
<p>Thanks</p>

<p>Hi,</p>
<p>Interesting article, Open. The part that stirred me most was the bit about the “Inflection Point”. Some elements of the astral journey you described resemble a dream I had few nights ago. I feel like briefly sharing what I experienced through that dream:</p>
<p>I find myself in a cave-like space. It feels constricting but familiar. The walls of the cave are made out of a living fabric, which I recognize as my own creation, perhaps even an extension of me. I notice an irregularity in the fabric and as I approach it I recognize it is an opening, beginning of a cuff-like passage. I know it is time to go through it. There is some faint resistance, attachment to the familiarity of the cave. I slide in the passage without looking back. The passage seems to be mimicking my internal state – it tightens when I’m feeling constricted inside and my movement within it slows down. So, I let go more, soften further and I begin to move through again. There is no fear, no concern, just temporary tightness sensations within, letting go, spiraling further… The time and space feel just right. Actually, there is no sense of time, it doesn’t feels important. I finally come out on “the other side” and it looks like cosmos, groups of galaxies, entire universes and such a vastness of space in between it all. I breathe in the space and allow it to fill me up. I also notice that I just pulled through the whole cave fabric and it is now facing outwards instead of forming an enclosed space. All this feels really good and there is a sense of calmness and normalness of the situation.</p>
<p>Since I had the dream, my consciousness split up from the mind. The latter seems slower and I’m noticing its processes as if they were happening in a slow motion. I seem to be living in a world of mind constructs, concepts created out of thin air, designed to flow the consciousness into 3D shapes. My awareness also underwent a slight shift in time. As things are happening throughout the day I’m noticing a slight delay between the actions and the consciousness. This part is very tricky to explain… the consciousness feels ahead and already knows what will happen a split second before it is happening, so the 3D world acts like an echo.</p>
<p>Wishing you all well.</p>
<p>Margaret</p>
<p> </p>

I sense we're entering a critical new phase in the shift. There are lots of underlying movements within Gaia herself - a building of earthquake and volcanic activity.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>I'm sensing that what's actually taking place, is the beginning of the breakdown for the karmic construct we're living in. It's a little too soon to call for sure, I'm feeling some major Gaia event will signal that; if my premonition comes to fruition, that's going to signal global impacts on a massive scale. I feel it's beginning on the physical plane, which will cause insecurity from those still invested in the old system. My sense is this is reflected synchronistically in the US/Israel/Iran heightening tension - the shift through the inflexion point is manifesting on the hugely distorted plane of the intellect. But it will impact on all the other levels too - emotional and karmic. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Meditation is going to be essential, especially including deep consciousness bodywork and movement - let any building energy flow through you; let your consciousness transform and then integrate in new alignments. Best not to ignore what is taking place. I felt to share this video with deep insights into the current earthquake/volcanic activity that is building across the earth - it's all interrelated, because everything is of consciousness. Let's stay intune and aware folks, then we'll ride the transformations of our reality more smoothly - we'll be increasingly ready for what is to come...</p>

<p>It feels to me like a strong call to stay outside of the illusion and pay attention. My energy wants to stay "sober" and present. The pure truth is the only thing that feels satisfying at the moment. Everything else is just a waste of time. Also, time seems to slow down, there is more depth and juiciness to each moment... probably the side effect of wanting to be here and now with what is :-) </p>

<p>I agree that the pure truth of what's going on is the only thing that matters right now - it never ceases to amaze me, when I'm out in the matrix, how life continues 'as normal', with everything that's kicking off around us. I sense a big wake up call is on its way.</p>

Some perceive it as, as you said, a wake up call and having major synchronicities around that. I also see people locked up in bubbles of consciousness that are distorted and untrue, but feeling "normal". I even fall in some of those bubbles myself, but recently I just find it very unappealing and my energy doesn't want to go there.</p>
<p>Losing myself in an illusion was just a coping mechanism as I wasn't able to metabolize certain frequencies of light. Truth to me is light. Those frequencies were bearable only for short moments and then the fear would pull me back into the numbing comfort of the illusion. It took many back-and-forths to extract my soul from some of those bubbles. We're entangled in an elaborate mechanism of survival and enveloped in a sense of scarcity since birth. It sometimes takes time and honest self-work get beyond that. And at times it's just a matter of a decision. It feels great to witness a delusion crumbling in front of my eyes followed by this tremendous stillness. </p>
<p>Anyways, this was going to be a short post....</p>
<p>Wishing you all well and happy crumbling!</p>
<p>M.</p>
<p>PS: I feel like adding that there is a great divine wisdom in how things are flowing right now. Ultimately the flow supports the realignment and I feel its power and wisdom when I'm sincerely aligned with my own essence. So, by allowing the truth of who I am I get to contribute more to the Universe's aspiration towards the greater consciousness. Others are playing their role as intended and as well as they can.</p>

It's because when you make a bold statement about who you are, and your beliefs about the world, if you're in some degree of alignment and truth, then you're going to challenge those around you. Your very actions are reflecting to them a new possibility about themselves, and if there's resistance to change, there'll be insecurity. With that comes the possibility of projection your way, because you had the audacity to challenge the box. How do we best deal with this?...</p>
<!--break--><h3>The nature of Change</h3>
<p>I'm feeling powerful shifts in the surrounding field right now. But these aren't easy shifts, they're more a difficult rebirthing. I can feel the turgidity of the old consciousness clinging to its old ways of being, in fear and anxiety as <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Torsional_Influx_of_High_Vibrational_Energy_Rise_Up!">the 5D movement of light begins to tug on the tethering that holds the old reality in place</a>. And the Opposing Consciousness does not like it. New layers at the bottom of the barrel that the shift is engaging are fighting back and resisting. It's to be expected. I've consciously experienced many similar ascensions before. This is nothing new - it's an old adversary.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Most importantly, when we're in awareness of what's going on, because we're inquiring within our own field, then even though the unravelling flow presents great challenge, we continue to find the directive light through it, like a ship following a homing beacon through the storm.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>It's important to say the nature of this resistant <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Interdimensional_Entities_influencing_Daily_Life">Opposing Consciousness (OC)</a> has been beneficial too: bear in mind that ALL realities are founded on some collective need for karmic resolution - a construct in which to explore and redefine who we truly are. OC is an energy (in many guises) that weaves the threads of that old reality construct together. Thus it's serving an invaluable role.</p>
<h3>Shoot the Messenger</h3>
<p>That's all well and good, the ideal being that when the old karmic reality is due for dissolution, as is the case now, then the OC works in concert: it lets go and allows the the dissolving threads - the strings of consciousness - to realign into the new reality construct, <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Setting_Intention_Divine_Manifestation_and_navigating_the_Quantum_Soup">a new flavour of the quantum soup</a>. As it does so, it realigns itself.</p>
<p>What I perceive happening here in Gaia's 5D Shift right now though, is a distortion of this resistance - it's been bedding in, and trying desperately to cling on. It's become a deceptive consciousness - <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5d-shift-unwinding-black-snake-energy-deep-field"><i>a black slippery snake</i></a> - that's using judgment and projection to limit the movement of the shift.</p>
<p><strong>How might this dynamic be manifesting in your own life?</strong></p>
<blockquote><p><i>When you step purposefully forwards, when you commit to making true and lasting change that's real and authentic, one that's aligning with the flow, then you become a reflection to all around you. They see your light, which challenges them to step out of their own box too. If they are anxious or fearful about what they're being invited to do, then the knee jerk reaction is often to shoot the messenger, rather than have to deal with an inconvenient message. That's exactly when judgment and projection will come calling.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>Beware, because this kind of consciousness can seep into the psyche of those around you, even your loved ones. It's important that even though you might love and respect them, not to let their fear or anxiety still limit you.</p>
<p><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide03_17.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<h3>Treat the resistance as a consciousness</h3>
<p>When I experience this, I find it helps to disassociate the energy from the person. In other words, I work to see the light in them - their authentic being - but I also witness the potential for some kind of intervention going on, which might be working to exploit anxiety so as to hold the old reality construct in place. I find that in seeing it this way, I can still connect with them, still honour me, and still step forwards, even though challenging.</p>
<blockquote><p>Be aware that in this resistant environment, judgment and projection will likely come from the most unexpected sources - those that love you most, those that want you most to be the old you, the one they feel comfortable with.</p></blockquote>
<p>When you disassociate the energy and behaviours from the person however, then an honest inner inquiry will more readily shine the light forwards for you. You will challenge them. You will challenge the resistant consciousness. But it becomes clear that you still have to step forwards, because the backward tug of the Opposing Consciousness itself does not serve you - it's pulling in the opposite direction to which your soul is inviting you to go.</p>
<h3>Apply Profound self honesty to your situation</h3>
<p>No doubt the doubters will call you "crazy", an "odd ball", the "weirdo" that doesn't fit it in - don't be limited by their labels! Even though the baying crowd around you might be telling you that you are wrong, even though they might be moving completely in the opposite direction to your flow, this is especially the time to push on.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand%3AExpanding_Your_Consciousness_in_the_Great_5D_Shift"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/Expanding_Blue_Final3%20-%201.jpg" width="300" /></a><br />
It won't be easy! Because as your blazing trail stirs up the dust in the desert, it'll get harder to see and feel the guiding signs and synchronicity you've been used to. You might even begin to doubt yourself that you're heading in the right direction at all...</p>
<p><strong><i>"Maybe the nay-sayers were right all along?" No! They are not!</i></strong></p>
<blockquote><p><i>At this point it's essential to remember why you did all this, why you began the journey. What does it really mean to you? Keep reminding yourself, keep tuning into this original light, then apply profound self honesty to the choices you make... "in terms of the step I'm about to take, is that right and aligned with my own path of sovereignty and evolutionary growth?" As I said though, don't expect this to be easy. You're actually forging the soul in the crucible of profound evolutionary change - that's never going to be a breeze in the park.</i></p></blockquote>
<h3>Collecting "Treasure Totems" on the Path</h3>
<p>As we travel down the path I believe it's essential to pick up 'totems' - little reminders of who you are and why you're doing this. Then to put them in your sacred space, which you keep coming back to when the challenges get difficult.</p>
<blockquote><p><i><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Owl_0.jpg" width="300" />My power animal is the owl, because it sees through 360 degrees, and with pinpoint accuracy in the darkness. Right now, owl is appearing for me everywhere, because I purposefully pay attention to it. On our recent <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Divinicus_Australia_Rise_of_the_Rainbow_People">Divinicus Course in Australia</a>, a white owl would land in the branches immediately over our campsite fire of an evening. It was totally spectacular and very inspirational - so what's your power animal?</i></p></blockquote>
<p>Of course it could also be a crystal, an item of jewelry, or something you pick up in nature. Collect them, treasure them, watch for the messages they bring. If we're attentive, then just like the owl, they'll be there for us when the going gets tough.</p>
<h3>Soul retrieval in the darkness</h3>
<p>Always remember, that when the going gets toughest of all, when the judgments and projections reach almost unbearable proportions, then in your deepest trials and tribulations, at the heart of the matter, you are still the inviolable "One". Constantly work on transcending through the challenge. That doesn't mean ditching it though. It means allowing yourself to experience the fullness of the karmic resistance, and then at it's zenith, opening a doorway through the density and into the profound experience of pure presence. Then you reconnect with the fragment of soul that was attaching you to the old drama. The shamans call it "soul retrieval".</p>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide03_19.jpg" width="800" /></p>
<h3>Recognise you're only ever judging yourself</h3>
<p>The Shaolin Priests have a saying: <i>"give evil nothing to oppose, and it will dissolve completely of its own accord</i>. Realise that a judgment cannot harm you unless you are judging yourself by the distorted reflection you're witnessing - the one that only you created!</p>
<blockquote><p><i>When you empower yourself by accepting that you drew this reflection to yourself in the first place, then you may discover that judgment and projection toward you can be healing too. When judgment comes calling, and you feel the impact of it touching you, look intently within - where are the contractions? Why are you judging yourself? Maybe you can't accept the impact you're having on those around you? Maybe you can't accept the brilliance of your own light?<br />
Why are you still trying to fit in? Why are you still playing small? Be bold, step out, embrace the maverick you always were!</i></p></blockquote>
<h3>Mavericks in the 5D Shift</h3>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Decide%20-%201.jpg" width="400" />There's simply no avoiding it. If you're a light-bearer and a way-shower, then right now, judgment and projection will likely come calling. It's because you're challenging the very binding weave that has woven people's lives into past limitation - you make the situation uncomfortable and inconvenient. However this is no time to stop, but to push on.</p>
<p><i><strong>There are no limitations! Step out of the box, break the set, smash the glass ceiling!</strong></i></p>
<p>In my own life, I have been encouraged by the flow to make big changes, to shine a stronger light in what I perceive to be a general inertia based on emotional attachment to the old reality construct. And I've attracted therefore a lot of projection and judgment by people around me putting 2 and 2 together to get 13 - making judgments on only partial information that hasn't yet fully revealed itself. But in my new living space that I recently moved to in Devon UK, there was a welcome and treasured 'totem' hanging on the wall: a poem, which I felt to share with you in closing. I've adpated it slightly from the original. I'm sure Rudyard Kipling won't mind....</p>
<blockquote><p><i>IF you can keep your head when all about you<br />
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,<br />
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,<br />
But make allowance for their doubting too;<br />
If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,<br />
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,<br />
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,<br />
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise:</i></p>
<p><i>If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;<br />
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;<br />
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster<br />
And treat those two impostors just the same;<br />
If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken<br />
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,<br />
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,<br />
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools:</i></p>
<p><i>If you can make one heap of all your winnings<br />
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,<br />
And lose, and start again at your beginnings<br />
And never breathe a word about your loss;<br />
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew<br />
To serve your turn long after they are gone,<br />
And so hold on when there is nothing in you<br />
Except the Will which says to them: "Hold on!"</i></p>
<p><i>If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,<br />
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,<br />
if neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,<br />
If all men count with you, but none too much;<br />
If you can fill the unforgiving minute<br />
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,<br />
Then you will inherit the Universe and everything that's in it.<br />
And - which is more - you will shine like the sun!</i></p>

When i opened this page i also recieved a friend request from someone who has posed many judgements and even praise upon me in the past. I agree with how its my own subtle self judgement which is getting reflected tenfold and how i feel to engage with it. But these days its amazing how some of it doesn't affect me at all. My response has been to engage very less with them and only when its necessary otherwise its like i lose all of my energy in a conversation. But at the same time i also wish if i could connect more positively with them ,my brother for instance. </p>
<p>Another thing i wanted to ask was about energy attacks. I spend most of my meditative sessions clearing out them from my field with awareness. But as soon as i engage in my daily life sometimes i feel depleted and i can literally feel the attack coming. I doubt whether it has something to do with mindfullness which i don't feel necessary to hold like in the beginning because it has become natural. </p>

<p>Projections have allowed me to let go of needing to bridge the gap with everyone... I just won't be able to in some cases (most)... And there is gentleness again when I just let them see it how they do, just let them perceive it from the place they can. </p>
<p>Yesterday I hit some stuff stirred up by the expectations of someone close that "if you love someone, you take care of them"...

<p>Vimal you said:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Another thing i wanted to ask was about energy attacks. I spend most of my meditative sessions clearing out them from my field with awareness. But as soon as i engage in my daily life sometimes i feel depleted and i can literally feel the attack coming.</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I think the important thing about attacks, is that before you process them out, to ask "why are they landing at all?" Because then when you confront and unwind those inner recesses, the attack has nowhere to land.</p>
<p>Jen, you quoted this as a projection that came your way...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"If you love someone, you take care of them"</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is a powerful one for people to take note of right now. Because there's truth in it, and a projection of obligation, which borders on manipulation. That's exactly the 'snake energy' of which I've been speaking of late and can ravel one up in emotional/intellectual knots. What usually happens is that whilst you're trying to resolve inside what just got projected - because some degree of truth has landed - then conversation advances and creates an illusionary reality on (for example) what it truly means to take care of someone. A false foundation in the psyche is created, upon which a whole illusionary reality is built. It's one to be very attentive to.</p>
<p>Great inquiries guys!</p>

I kinda had the sense of it already because i have been observing how im unintentionally setting my day into chunks of time where im meditating to feel the soul,getting out to face the world and entertaining myself. And this continous striving to feel the light gets hectic after a while. And maybe its about time it all merge into one or atleast start to. The thing that stood out most for me in the exploration is vulnerability. I observe i behave a certain way inorder to protect myself from potential negativity and this is holding back in many ways. Your question in the article stands out for me " Why are you still trying to fit in ?". I guess my way of fitting in nowadays would be an image of someone who doesn't get agitated or loose his centre and pose minimum disturbance to people close to me. This is afterall a way to protect myself. And getting clear of negativity inside helps me to conform to this way externally. I think i have developed some degree of acceptance to negativity inside which is helping me to see some of it clearly. This takes off some judgment i had towards my family and helps me to see them as they really are without needing to change them. I have observed in the past as opposed to being untouched and all peaceful its when i have some sort of argument or issue with any one of them is where i really grow. This idea that i no longer need to protect myself and i can be however i want to be is itself very liberating!</p>
<p>Thanks for reading </p>

Who's the picture of, by the way (very poignant)? Not Joan of Arc, by any chance?<br />
Much love.</p>

<p>Beautiful Intuitive article Open..</p>
<p>I just recently spent some time with a close family member, 1 full week together and well I lived this exact experience you mention in the article, during the Process I found myself searching for ways to be able to build a bridge of communication and to handle the judgment and projection coming at me. It was challenging but I saw the task at hand as a nice test of sorts to see where I was at within to handle such a person. I found myself meditating to look for clues and ways to improve the communication so it could become an exchange of opinions rather than turning into an argument. It was very very challenging, spending time with this person made me realize how I have distanced myself from judgment and how I have become much more open minded and accepting of others, then only to fall in the trap of projection myself towards the narrow mindedness of this person’s ways. I never got to high or to low, my personal challenge was to be able to express myself, my ideas, my ways, my feelings without impeding on his; I noticed quickly he was very defensive and competitive with many of my sharing’s, I went out on a limb to share some of the experiences I have had personally and with others of like mind and on the few occasions I did share he quickly diminished them to nothing, I felt the person was not really listening to me to understand but more to reply, this I found discouraging I must say. The experience was interesting and I am eager to spend more time with this person when it arises and continue to find ways to build a bridge of communication between us and of course this can serve me well with others as well.</p>
<p>Now having read this article I feel the missing piece that would have helped greatly with meditating is as you say to separate the energy and the person, I feel this is something I can meditate with and explore. </p>

Yes, the light is often inconvenient to people. But nevertheless, the encouragement is to persist.</p>
<p>We need to get you on a facilitator course! One of the things people learn on it, is how to formulate an empowering and open question. So when someone comes at you with a judgmental projection like that, instead of just taking it in your system, you can turn it around (benevolently) and inquire what they feel about what they're sharing.</p>
<p>So for example:</p>
<blockquote><p><em>"I hear what you're saying, and I honour your truth. But I also feel some anger and judgment projected my way. So where's that coming from? It feels like you've got some pain brother. What's that all about?</em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>If done in a loving and compassionate way, it causes the energy to go back in on itself and explore.</p>
<p>You do have to be a little careful with the questions, so as not to explode buttons! But with practice and application of intuition, it is extremely effective because it empowers the inquiry. At the very least, it halts everything coming your way!</p>
<p>Wishing you well</p>

Funny no matter how much we read and process such stuff, we.will only get it when we are supposed to.<span style="font-size: 1rem;"> I have always struggled in front of judgement from others - my heart beats wildly and I have huge tightness there. Probably some karma from the past. This is part of the reason I have felt to involve my family and others in my path so that I can resolve the judgement with them, triumph over it even. Yesterday after seeing this posted here it occurred to me that it was only my self judgement and I needn't worry about how others perceive me because it can change magically when I have resolved it inside myself. I feel more free. Relief. Thanks a million</span></p>

I have been feeling a lot of judgement too. In the last year there have been many reacting to my aura. They have been so many attacks real and intangible because I feel I threaten people . </p>
<p>And the urge to belong and to be afraid of not belonging is sooooooo deep it feels very karmic too. I resonate with your anxiety to not belonging as well Vimal . And the solar plexus and the heart are definitely it's seat. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>Whenever I am in a particular query ,I attract babies that reflect it. Right now I am dealing with a child who is sick because he literally has his intestines in knots . The last time I was processing this a baby died with the same disease and so this time I was able to pick it up much much earlier . True for my insides as well. I am looking at where I am judging myself for speaking my truth. Had a very firm conversation with my mom yesterday as well - usually she is able to bully and guilt me I to shutting up ,not yesterday . I held my ground.</p>
<p>The guts unwound themselves. Whew . Just made that connection right now . </p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">I’m not receiving too many explicit judgments and projections at the moment – but that’s because people around me tend to think of me as ‘one of them’ rather than being different. I generally keep my thoughts, feelings and beliefs to myself, knowing that they are very different compared to the thoughts, feelings and beliefs of the people surrounding me in the matrix. I’m right there with everyone else, having a beer at the pub on Fridays after lectures, talking about normal, everyday stuff… In one sense, I feel like this is a good thing, as it enables me to ‘fit into the crowd’. But on the other hand, I feel like I’m not being true to myself by not expressing myself more. Perhaps the anticipation of judgment and projection is exactly what stirs me away from doing this? </span></span></span></p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"> </p>
<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">My everyday life is extremely intertwined into the matrix, as I’m doing a placement within the NHS three days a week, engaging in full days of intimate classes and seminars two days a week, in addition to part-time jobs with children with special needs and a research project revolving around looked after children, and how the foster care system serves them (of course the system sucks). In short, I feel like my life IS the matrix… I just completed my first week of all of this after the summer holiday, and I’ve been feeling depressed, suppressed and just generally very flat in the end as a result of my intensive engagement. Working in the NHS, and observing children being medicated for not demonstrating a concentration level fit to the system, while their obvious emotional and self-esteem issues are ignored due the system’s glorification of cognitive “skills” at the cost of emotional ones, is making me feel disheartened and sad. Especially since my role does not allow me to have any impact on this… I have to sit back, keep my mouth shut and simply observe the horror. This has been a running theme in my life, working previously in an emergency residential centre for children and adolescents with intense emotional and behavioural problems, who couldn’t live with their parents, and observing how the system failed these children in the most horrific and heart-breaking ways again and again – without being able to do anything about it… A part of me wants to run away, into the woods, live in solitude in a peaceful cabin and write books based on my imagination alone for a living instead of all of this. However, my intuition tells me that I’m exactly where I’m supposed to at the moment, and this is probably related to karma. I’m further aware that I’m quite privileged, being enrolled in a very competitive MSc course at one of the top institutions in the world, and working rather intimately with several of the ‘big dogs’ in my field. Lots of magical synchronicities and events led me to this course in the first place, and I’m wondering whether I would be able to actually have a slight impact on the system if I keep hanging in there, and remain patient and persistent, as I’m definitely very passionate about all of this. In order to have an impact, though, I feel that I have to be careful with how much I express myself, as ‘fitting in’ feels key to achieve this… But perhaps this is the ‘black snake’ energy deceiving me? To what extent should one express one-self in a situation like this, where one’s life is based mainly in the matrix and where one wishes to have an impact from within, like this? </span></span></span></p>

<blockquote><p><em><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">I feel like I’m not being true to myself by not expressing myself more.

</blockquote>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">So you feel like you're trying to fit in? I'd say first always look for the truth in the distortion. Maybe harmonising in that environment is fine for you at this time. But clearly the question is inviting a different way of being in it? Perhaps more observing and witnessing yourself. One of the things that most often happens in such groups, is that you can easily get pulled into the judgments and limitations others make of reality. So a group will form some kind of cohesiveness and collective agreement - which is often unconscious, to which they all subsrcibe. If you simply allow this to wash over you without inquiring, then their reality can become a part of yours too. So my question to you would be... how can you fit in, but then (internally) hang back a little more from the immediate acquiescence? How can you witness more and let go more internally as the engagements happen?</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">Interestingly you said this about your role in working with children: "I have to sit back, keep my mouth shut and simply observe the horror." I've been there, in a similar kind of experience, so I completely empathise with what you're experiencing. The problem is, if you step out too strongly, the risk is the system can reject and judge you. But I do know other nurses who've been in similar situations, who have found a way to help and express. First consider that what you're witnessing is happening to children in similar institutions around the world - it's endemic. We could fight for every single child, OR, we could let each case inspire us to work ever harder for a global change of consciousness. Then no single situation will have been in vain. So let the situations evolve you - let go deeply inside. Witness and learn. The day will come when you're able to challenge in a way that is heard. The day will come when you're able to work within the system, but in a way that liberates and not shuts down. This is possible - I'm directly aware from first hand experience.</span></span></span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri"><span style="font-family:Arial">So I'd say keep hanging in there for now. I can amplify your statement that you feel you're where you need to be for now.</span></span></span></p>

<p>Your sharing touched me and I'd like to share a reflection from my own experience if I may. Balancing blending in and expressing myself has been one of the major explorations through my life. I feel at the moment that I have one foot inside the matrix and one foot in the 5D. It's been very hard, particularly knowing that sometimes I'll be seen as the crazy one, and also because I've had a tendency to avoid conflict in the past. </p>
<p>I've noticed that language is very important (and I appreciate how difficult this can be when expressing in a second language). I've noticed that I don't have to use spiritual terminology to express spiritual concepts for example. For me, the ability to blend in can be used to my advantage and can actually help me to express my truth in a way that both makes it clear where I stand, and also resonates with another persons current frequency. </p>
<p>I'd like to reflect to you from personal experience that if you can find a way to express yourself in a way takes into account the energy of the matrix, but is perhaps still on the edge of other peoples comfort zones, then not only will people treat you with integrity, but also you will begin to attract other people and situations which will reflect a vibration more aligned with who you are. </p>
<p>I can imagine the horror and frustration you experience. I've had such experiences both in work and with my own children. And I had to smile a bit when you said you wanted to run away into the woods and write books based on your imagination - this sounds like my dream life! :-)</p>
<p>Best wishes,</p>
<p>Richard</p>

<p style="margin:0in 0in 0.0001pt"><span style="font-size:12pt"><span style="font-family:Calibri">I would say I’m definitely being invited to be slightly different in this environment. I also feel what you wrote about groups of people creating unconscious collective agreements regarding reality that ultimately constrains and limits everything. I feel like one of the essential keys to master this balance, and to prevent the unconscious collective agreements and limits from penetrating and limiting my own consciousness, is to maintain an internal awareness, without getting sucked into the engagements – just like you’re saying. I feel the ‘black snake’ energy being particularly slippery and manipulative in this environment, and it’s so easy to lose touch with the spiritual path in the midst of it… And thanks for your encouragement regarding the change of the global consciousness – to feel inspired to evoke this change, rather than feeling disheartened by observing single cases of these children, is indeed something that I feel called to do! I look forward to the day where I’ll be able to have my voice heard and to be in the system without shutting down, but rather liberating myself, and others… :-) Also, thank you for providing a confirmation that you also feel that I’m currently where I should – it’s very reassuring and motivates me to keep going! This was overall a very motivating and inspiring reflection for me – so thanks! </span></span></p>

I definitely feel what you wrote about having one foot in the 3D and another in the 5D. Thank you very much for your advice on how to master this balance – what you wrote about communicating with other people while taking into account the energy of the matrix, and at the same time finding the space to provoke slightly, made something ‘click’ inside of me, and so I think this is exactly how I’m being invited to be in this environment right now :-) It seems like a true mastery, so I look forward to dipping my toes in this ‘space’, and to practice it over time… And I’m glad to know that I’m not the only one fantasising about a life in the woods writing books based on imagination (hehe) – I sometimes find peace just in imagining this life. I guess the true peace in this fantasy is found in our imagination, and luckily, it can be accessed anywhere, and be a comforting space to retreat into… :-) </span></span></p>

<p>I am in healthcare too Maria and I face many of the issues you do. For much of my medical training and even afterwards I was completely in lock down. My internal experience and it's external expression seemed to be completely at odds . I often fantasised fanta doing Integrative Medicine - seemed to resonate much more with me but the Universe basically caught me by the scruff of my neck and planted me here 😀😀😀.I ''woke up" after my father's death and reconized the value of surrender ,without surrendering my integrity. This is a moment by moment exploration of course. In my work ,I am fortunate to be almost entirely independent. And so I am able to work with a lot of heart and push the envelope so I am doing much more kind and intuitive medicine( with excellent results !) . Probably doesn't impact the matrix very much - I am after all working in a very small hospital with very few babies . At one level I like that relative anonymity - makes me feel safe. </p>
<p>As far as judgements are concerned the level of projection and judgement has immensely spiralled in the last couple of years .I recognize that I am shining my soul obviously a lot more in the last two years. I am living ,in many aspects very true to my soul so it's inevitable I suppose. I have been attacked for literally just being who I am - I am still learning to undo my own unconscious judgements instead if getting into altercations and fight or flight mode . </p>
<p>For me ,I look at it literally moment at a time. I focus on being centred and loving inside my own heart and with each patient just being a Presence. I give very little medicine ,much more time and space . I try to connect with all of the families at a very heart level . Sometimes works ,sometimes doesn't. I look at each interaction as an opportunity . Even my patients are starting to select themselves - I feel like everyone that comes to my small hospital was meant to meet me and interact with me for that small time ,as I was meant to meet with them . And of course unravel any tightness ( for me it's often about appearing perfect ,being trusted ,self doubt) </p>
<p>I recently ran away into the mountains for just the sort of retreat you describe.It was a lovely break ,but the matrix is definitely my karma bhoomi ( the space to enact karma) for now . </p>
<p>Thanks to all of you ! </p>

<p> </p>
<p dir="ltr">These exploration are also connected with Open questions towards me about the need to belong. I have not really inquired about it within but always felt it. I believe I'm a star soul but like it's frequently discussed here I have not felt that I don't belong to this place and elsewhere. This is because I'm empathic and have string diplomatic quality so I have always been good in blending in, fitting in. And most times it has meant compromising my soul. This is a false belonging but serves to find ourselves within it. I also feel some of the issues like beauty, perfection, achievement etc are also connected to this need to belong where I feel that I will only be accepted, belong if I meet this needs within myself. How limiting is this. There is no place for the real me. So I think what has really made a defference is cultivating this space - meditating, solitude, being with nature, animals, playing music etc. So that I progressively touch my soul. And when I go back to the place where Im expected to blend in I can be aware of my uniqueness inside those rigid conditions which can be family, friends or the job I do. I used to teach at this centre only very recently where children were controlled, literally beaten into submission. It was even more sad to know that people involved and the children's their parents just didn't know these were a disharmonious reality and life goes much beyond that securing our place in this world. It was no place for me to raise my voice and blame them for these things because that will have only created more polarity and exploded the connections.. But the universe also gave me the opportunity to connect with them, speak my truth compassionately and openly, even sing from my heart. And I know this has made a huge difference. But the most important thing was that first it required my awareness, inquiry, surrendering and opening up. Because the rigidity outside always connected with the rigidity inside. The conditioning I picked up from my own school days. To give you a funny example,after literally grinding through the institution for some years I came to realise that the head of this insitituons resembled in every way a physical teacher I had at school! I was so afraid of this teacher but also wanted some consideration, belonging from him. Look how the universe bends and wraps reality for mutual evolution and growth!</p>
<p dir="ltr">Love to Connect with you all</p>
<p dir="ltr">Vimal 🙏</p>
<p dir="ltr">Paul - I didnt see your comment. But I trust everything happens in an orchestra in the universe. So no worries! Interesting experiences you had. Keep on exploring brother. Namaste</p>

<p>I can't thank you enough for this thread. Each of your shared perspectives and experiences were very inspiring and catalytic. </p>
<p>I had a related experience at work towards the end of last week that spiked really hard for me. Essentially my actions from earlier in the week did not conform with what was expected of me in my new role, and my new boss addressed this through a series of direct judgments. Several comments spiked in succession, like they were bombs being dropped on me:</p>
<p>"NOT VERBOTEN," "Your absence was definitively noticed by several people at the top," "Your reason for not being there is not good enough," and "It looked bad for your entire team." </p>
<p>Fortunately I was in enough of the position of the Observer to able to watch the interaction consciously, and while I was uncomfortable during and definitely demoralized afterward, I somehow knew in my core that I was being given a gift if I could apply the experience as an opportunity and catalyst for growth. </p>
<p>I woke up at 2am that night, still restless from the experience, and was drawn to read this article from back in November 2017 for an evolutionary viewpoint on how to deal with judgment and projection. When I logged into the site later the next day I was confused for a second, because the article I was reading the night before was now somehow on the home page -- until I realized that Open had reposted this EXACT ARTICLE for consideration that day. You're definitely one tuned in dude; thank you 1000x. :)</p>
<p>I finally had the opportunity to fully regress into the experience alone in my car at lunch. There was pain in the solar plexus, left side of the heart, and massive tension in my third eye. After a few moments of breakthrough breathing my Soul just opened me wide up and I went straight into an early childhood experience where it felt like I gave up my capacity to fully feel through the field. Pardon the graphic-ness, but what I saw was a face sucking scarecrow-ish entity going into my rapt stunned frozen face through my mouth, instilling an undercurrent of fear into my existence from that point forward. I saw and felt inserts being clamped into my jaw and implants going up the back of my throat and all the way up into my head through my nasal passages. I identified with what was occurring and could not handle the paralyzing fear, so I eventually I shut my sensitivity off and out just to cope and to be able to sleep at night.</p>
<p>I suddenly saw my own childhood innocence in all of it - along with HUMANITY'S innocence as well - and with it came forgiveness for allowing my light to be overshadowed in the first place. Emotion flowed through in waves and I just allowed it to course through over and over -- so grateful to be graced with the opportunity to realign and to serve and to SHINE again. It was like the emotions themselves became a "hydraulic" cleanser, pushing energy up to my forehead and breaking apart all kinds of stuckness on the way.</p>
<p>Then I saw a toroidal-ish connection between my solar plexus and heart, and it lit up and got stronger and brighter. My hands heated up and they were placed in that space and gave it added warmth. I suddenly saw a tightly wound black snake coiled around my heart space and solar plexus, and as soon as it hit my awareness, it began moving again and turned GREEN. (!!) </p>
<p>A phrase was gifted: CONSTRICT or CONSTRUCT. The realization hit that the "matrix" consciousness was NOT originally built to limit and restrict. It was to provide the necessary framework in order for experience itself to happen. Without boundaries, the Flow could not flow! </p>
<p>A powerful experience I am so grateful for, and I have a few questions as I integrate it.</p>
<p>What are some best practices to encourage grounded integration after something like this? It's not exactly a common occurrence for me. :) As far as my career itself I trust that the external situation will align itself with my internal shifts, but like a lot of us on this thread, there is a big difference between the "two worlds."</p>
<p>It seems like it would be more effective to go directly inward to unwind density rather than requiring external events to catalyze growth. How is this best facilitated? Or is karma pretty much karma and it is what it is?</p>
<p>Thanks again to every one of you - especially the inquiry on blending and expressing.</p>
<p>Paul</p>

<p>I'm so glad you shared that experience. It really excites me how you were able to capture it on so many levels within (and outside) yourself. I have to say, well done! A grand spiritual high five from me to you. And don't fret about the 'graphic' details. I see stuff like that quite often, and it's nice to hear someone else does too.</p>
<p>Well, once again, synchronicity brings us together here <img alt="Slightly Smiling" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Emoji Faces/Slightly_Smiling_Emoji_Icon.png" title="Slightly Smiling" width="20" />. As it turns out, I have had the most fascinating weekend with the 'green snake' myself. The problem I'm having though is how to write about it. I've 'seen' and understood so much over the past few days, I don't know how to summarize it. There are so many layers and so much that wants to be said, and I'm not good at just spontaneously writing. When it comes to communicating important messages to the greater public, I get stuck in various places inside myself. The flow gets obstructed, and I just want to give up and run and hide. Add to that a sore throat (chakra) and a cough that I've had since the last webinar and I think you have yourself an issue of karmic proportions <img alt="Smiling With Sweat Emoji" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="19" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Emoji Faces/Smiling_With_Sweat_Emoji_2.png" title="Smiling With Sweat Emoji" width="20" />.</p>
<p>The point is, I don't want to just give up this time. What was shared with me this weekend by the 'green snake' is really valuable, and it's meant for everyone, not just for me. So, I kind of feel it's my duty to share, otherwise the benefit gets lost, and with that perhaps an opportunity for me to break through. So what I'm saying with this very odd sharing is that I will write about it. I just have to find the right way to do it, and perhaps I have to process something else first before I'm ready. I just don't want the energy of the moment to get lost, this great synchronicity, so just bare with me. And now that I've said all that, I've pretty much closed all exit doors on myself, because I can't go back on my big promise now. (Anastasia, what are you doing?)</p>
<p>So much discomfort in me right now. Breathe. Relax.</p>
<p>Love to you all,</p>
<p>Anastasia</p>

This article has helped me to understand the rift and pain I'm currently experiencing with him. It never occurred to me that our estrangement might have to do with his judgement regarding my shift of consciousness and how it makes him uncomfortable.</p>
<p>In case I needed confirmation, I saw the "Green Snake" Energy during my meditation this morning and noticed Anastasia's comment above regarding the Green Snake when scrolling down to comment!! I asked the Universe this morning "What's the lesson I need to learn with my Son?" The answer was to Love unconditionally which has been a struggle for me. Part of me just wants to close down and shut him out, but I realize it's necessary to stay open and hold the space for him. </p>
<p>More to come as I unwind the Karma associated with this struggle.</p>

To us here at Openhand, free flowing kundlaini is the entirely natural state to live in. This free flowing source energy, creates miracles and magic all around you, feels like interconnected joy of living, and unfolds a path of light under your very feet. We've entered a phase in the 5D Shift where kundalini is strongly activating for people...</p>
<!--break--><h3>Forging of the Soul</h3>
<p>Humanity has been isolated from free flowing kundalini for too long. Lack of trust, attachment in relationship situations, the need to control and manipulate, has created a limiting matrix of confinement, which has disconnected the majority from this essential elixir of life. And that's entirely okay - <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakras_karma_kundalini"> it's the karma of life itself</a>. There's always truth at the heart of the distortion. In this case, manifesting a reality of exploration, energetic ties binding it together, but then experiencing how these can be limiting and confining.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>It's all about the forging of soul. The natural Law of Attraction brings bodies together, for mutual growth and education. But life was never meant to be about fixed attachment. How can you experience being "The One" that you are, if you have a fixed relationship to the polarity of separation?</i></p></blockquote>
<p>In other words, if you've already decided that you need another to make you feel whole and complete, then you've already established yourself as separate from the wholeness of The One. Activation of Kundalini brings you back into the universal fold. Sense of loss, or neediness, transforms into the joy of completeness.</p>
<h3>Moving beyond intellectual and emotional Enlightenment</h3>
<p>I'm blessed to be traveling out around the world meeting and working with people consciously on the spiritual path. It's a great joy to witness the incredible breakthroughs as people come home to the revelation of The One, inside of themselves. Right now, there's an <a href=" http://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_The_Tides_of_Change-Prospering_from_a_vibrant_new_phase_in_the_Great_5D_Shift">acceleration of consciousness in the 5D Shift</a> - life is unraveling itself from the karmic distortion of humanity's limiting past, and unleashing the vibrant possibility of the New 5D Paradigm. People are living and breathing this phenomenal new existence, right here, right now!</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Importantly, it's not just about experiencing the peace of interconnectivity, because the risk is it leads only to an intellectual/emotional level of Enlightenment. You cannot aim for, and touch, the infinite peace of presence. Because in the moment "you" are aiming, you've already established the condition of separation from The One.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>It must be about aligning with the flow of soul - the natural movement of kundalini. Because when you catch this wave inside of you, which is the sense of 'rightness' of the soul, then without even efforting, struggling or trying, the wave itself delivers you on the shores of The One inside. That's why it becomes essential to activate Kundalini.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation"><img alt="" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide02_34.jpg" width="800" /></a></p>
<h3>Relating our Inner Experience to our Outer Lives</h3>
<p>Activation of Kundalini is no easy ride! There is an essential pitfall to avoid. That is: <i>trying to force the rising of consciousness before the lower chakras have been properly cleansed.</i> This can lead to a disconnected, partially out-of-body, dreamlike state, which can take some considerable time to reintegrate. I witness a lot of spiritual teachers falling into this trap.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>It's essential to recognise that to properly open, cleanse and attune a chakra, we must simultaneously work on how that centre of consciousness interrelates with our outside lives. We must allow the light of infusing kundalini consciousness to flow into the chakras progressively, witness the reflections on the outer, then work to align any distorted behaviourisms that are so revealed.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>In relationships for example, as the energy naturally flows into the sacral chakra, we must work on releasing attachment of how we might need, or expect, someone else to be. Progressively, attachment to a fixed interrelational dynamic, transforms to the sensuality of allowance. We can empathically feel the connection to another, yet at the same time, don't require them to be a particular way to make us feel whole and complete. You feel through the emotional connection, but with awareness and focus, constantly bring the kundalini energy back inside yourself. In this similar way, we can work up through all the chakras, channeling soul consciousness into them through aligned spiritual practice, and then working to dissipate the distorting shadows upon the clear blue skies of our outer experience.</p>
<h3>Catching the Kundalini Wave!</h3>
<p>Right now, we are on the cusp of phenomenal change. The consciousness of the old reality is steadily being unwound, and the bottled up energy contained within it, is being progressively released.</p>
<blockquote><p>It offers an enormous potential to all evolving souls:<br />
<i>to embrace the vitality of change;<br />
to infuse soul consciousness through your body and out into the world;<br />
to create a life, totally interconnected with the majesty of the divine.</i></p></blockquote>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/paradigm-shift-new-openhand-world-tour"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide01_4.jpg" width="350" /></a>That possibility is open to every single one of us. It requires commitment, courage and trust. And as we summon these emboldening traits within us, we unleash the incredible potential of free flowing kundalini.</p>
<p>The time is now. An incredible shift into the new 5D paradigm is happening all around us. Let's work deep within, and catch that kundalini wave!</p>
<p>In loving support</p>

<p>Thank you for this article, it has helped me understand more about what I am experiencing. I asked for some clarity and voila you posted this article!</p>
<p>This especially caught my attention - "In relationships for example, as the energy naturally flows into the sacral chakra, we must work on releasing attachment of how we might need, or expect, someone else to be. Progressively, attachment to a fixed interrelational dynamic, transforms to the sensuality of allowance.

<p>I am learning to release attachments, and not hope for something in particular. Earlier today I went into a situation with more trust and neutrality, and observing both myself and others. It was a new and different experience without the negative, judgemental energies. It was very liberating. </p>
<p>I would like to learn more about feeling through the emotional connection and bringing the kundalini energy back inside. I am feeling and seeing signs to embrace more aligned spiritual practice. Thus far, I have allowed things to flow spontaneously and don't really meditate formally, it might happen when I am reading here, or being outside. But, I am curious about your guided meditations that you have listed. Which ones do you recommend that I listen to at this time, for kundalini activation, chakras, entities, implants etc.? Which ones will really help me feel into what to work through? In the morning after waking up, and at night before I go to sleep? (I have also reached out to one of the facilitators for more in depth help, and I would like to try some guided meditations in the meantime as well.)</p>
<p>Thank you very much for your books and website! They have been very helpful on this journey!</p>
<p>Shauna</p>

<div class="clearfix text-formatted field field-comment--comment-body field-formatter-text-default field-name-comment-body field-type-text-long field-label-hidden has-single"><div class="field__items"><div class="field__item"><p>Hi Shauna,</p>
<p>I'm pleased you resonate. It sounds like you're having an amazing inquiry <img alt="smiley" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" height="23" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/regular_smile.png" title="smiley" width="23" /></p>
<p>Basically I would say that your practice must support what you feel your soul purpose is. And must constantly adapt, grow and evolve as your understanding of your particular configuration grows. It's important not to get fixated in the rigidity of s particular practice or approach. Because this only builds subtle 'doing' identity again. To me, it's all about attuning my at-one-ment with the Universe. That is me, and I am that. My purpose - as a soul - it to be an integral part of that, amplifying it for the greater whole.</p>
<p>But exactly how does the Universe move? If there's any separation in me, how does that feel, and how can I bring it more into alignment?</p>
<p>Firstly I notice the Universe has 3 basic qualities to it: (1) There is a sense of separation consciousness which creates relativistic experience - the bodymind for example. In various ways, this separation consciousness becomes tight and resistant, which feels uncomfortable. It feels like moving out of natural 'rightness'. So personally I do practices that confront any resistance or tightness and soften into them. (2) The first approach (softening into the tightness of separation), starts to unleash a flow within - a sense of aligned rightness - which the Openhand approach defines as "soul". When you're in this, it feels like where you're meant to be, who you naturally are. Being in the soul, creates the synchronistic flow of rightness in your life. (3) It is only the soul that can deliver you on the shores of The One inside of you - the true source to which all aligned action flows. This is the sense of being truly "home". It is the pure presence of complete acceptance. And so by aligning with soul, there is an allowance and noticing of this sense of presence wanting to consume you. Allow it to do that.</p>
<p>The <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_breakthrough_breathing_meditation">Breakthrough Breathing Meditation</a> is purposefully designed to attune these three qualities of experience. It's the first level of Openhand meditation, and is central to it. In doing the meditation, and relating it to outer experience, you'll likely find that others are important as the flow of soul brings you into challenging density - like karma for example. In the book <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/taxonomy/term/146">5GATEWAYS</a> there are other key meditations to attune the chakras - where soul consciousness flows into the various layers of the bodymind. And also to facilitate the free flow of kundalini, which harmonises the flow through the lower self, connecting it seamlessly to higher self. And I would also advocate some kind of regular bodywork, like Openhand's <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/openhand_meditation_soulmotion">soulmotion</a> which intensifies the free flow of soul consciousness through the body. Yoga, tai chi and conscious dance can do the same thing. Or consciously walking in nature.</p>
<p>From the Openhand perspective, that's a generalised overview.</p>

<p>Yes! I see! Not just spiritual practice, but <strong>aligned</strong> spiritual practice, and not practice such that there is a hope for an outcome which can build subtle doing identity.</p>
<p>Oh wow, yes! I have had a few sizeable releases in the last few months, and hence that triggered subsequent realizations. Well, what happened in the midst of the releasing of a lot of pent up energy was a bit of a worry of what those around me thought about it because it was intense. --Not fully accepting and being ok with it all, which led me to think well maybe there is a more subtle and gentle way to go about it so as to not freak out my family. I released a lot of energy that I related to my mother because I was looking to her for love, acceptance, safety, etc. I was looking outside of myself. The releasing happened over the course of a couple of weeks, lots of anger, turmoil, sadness; the main realizing release happened as my family sat at the kitchen table staring at me with their mouths a bit open in shock and awe as I deeply expressed the honest yet dense and illusioned energy. So I subsequently thought that I should embrace better spiritual practices for a more gentle approach. I see now what has transpired and I also am in the process of fully accepting it all.</p>
<p>I also really appreciate this "you'll likely find that others are important as the flow of soul brings you into challenging density - like karma for example" - yes, this is what is happening and I appreciate you stating this as it helps clarify what is going on. When you are swimming through the silt with confusion it can be difficult to discern what is happening, and then when you come here and read something like this for perspective, it is so helpful, it brings it all together!</p>

<p>I witness on the current <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/paradigm-shift-new-openhand-world-tour">World Tour</a> </strong>that Kundalini is activating for plenty of people. It's a great sign that the Shift is accelerating for people. But it's not always and easy wave to ride. The progressive release of energy can cause all manner of challenging symptoms from body spasms, temporary disconnection, sexual urges and it can bring up painful karma. But that's all okay, providing people start to recognise what's taking place for them, that they're on the cusp of powerful spiritual Breakthrough and that they need to work through it.</p>
<p>Do feel free to inquire if you have symptoms you suspect might be activating Kundalini but are unsure of.</p>
<p>In loving support</p>

I go to weekly group sessions where we share freely about our emotions and experiences and I'm always very nervous to go/express myself. When I share I feel myself going out of body a lot, so I did a grounding excersise before I went. I always feel a little shaking going on after the excersise, but this time it was very strong and didn't stop. I was shaking all morning, and it became worse during the session. Also a lot of grief surfaced as I very recently broke off my relationship and the sense of loss obviously played a big role there, but the shaking felt unrelated to that. In that moment my mind automatically linked it to my nervousness, but it was out of proportion. On my way there I even had the feeling I was going to my own execution (in the very literal sense, the gallows or guillotine or something). Today I can still feel the shakiness, though less, and I'm also feeling quite disoriented..!</p>
<p>Would love to get some reflections on this! </p>

<p>Good to have you tune in <img alt="Slightly Smiling" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Emoji Faces/Slightly_Smiling_Emoji_Icon.png" title="Slightly Smiling" width="20" /></p>
<p>My sense is as you describe it - that the meeting initiated some past life karma, and what you describe resonates energetically. It doesn't matter too much the exact details, just to honour and express what you feel in the case that something like that actually did happen - and probably caused you to go out of body.</p>
<p>So take some quality time, regress right into it, and allow yourself to express. Remember, at the height of it, totally accept it as The One, then integrate through. If you feel it might be helpful to have a facilitator there, then it would be a good idea to call on one.</p>
<p>Wishing you well with the unfolding - every bout of karma always leads to a greater expansion!</p>
<p>Much love</p>

Ever find yourself in grief of loss? For example losing a loved one, a valued career or cherished location. It is, without doubt, one of the most challenging things we can face. But there are some key clues to finding the light through it. Whenever you feel some kind of relativistic experience like this, there's always the flip side, and a doorway through to it - grief of loss, and the incredible potential of something new now wanting to manifest, are two side of the same coin. Here's a straightforward way of honouring the grief and breaking through to the other side...</p>
<!--break--><h3>The Doorway is opened through the feeling of emptiness</h3>
<p>So sense of loss happens because some external person or 'object' has helped fulfill something in us. Loss is the deprivation of that. Maybe they passed on, or a relationship broke down? The pain can seem almost unbearable. It is not. but you have to be prepared to go courageously right into the centre of the pain, and through the eye of the needle, in order to come out shining on the other side.</p>
<p>The doorway through to the other side is opened through the feeling of emptiness, which is concealed within the well of grief. It's your understandable resistance to this feeling which keeps you from locating the doorway. Your resistance builds internal polarity - you're distanced from the experience and so can't normalise in it. The suffering becomes too great to find your way through it.</p>

<blockquote><p><i>You have to become intimately intimate with the grief - sob your heart out, and keep right on sobbing, but AT THE SAME TIME, it's important not to just wallow in it and become victimised by it. Be attentive. Feel deep into the pain and express it fully, till you become as-one with it. That's the time to look for the emptiness, because in this lies an incredible opportunity.</i></p></blockquote>
<h3>Consuming the Experience of Desolation</h3>
<p>There's a challenge in the emptiness too - one to watch out for. That's the sense of desolation, of hopelessness, that there's nothing to live for. When you touch the desolation, you're right at the bottom of the well. That's especially the time to look for, and embody, the emptiness. Let the emptiness of the Void - of the One - consume the experience of desolation.</p>
<p>Now you're ready to unleash the infinite potential of The One. The energy that was contained within the previous manifestation is now breaking down in its old form. Watch it break up in your mind's eye. Then breathe the fragmented 'strings' of energy back inside of you. Your <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/The_Acceleration_of_Kundalini_in_the_5D_Shift">kundalini energy</a> will strengthen. It's magnitude will rise to the extent of the energy in the grief you released...</p>
<blockquote><p><i>That means the greater the strength of the grief, the greater the potential to create something fantastically new.</i></p></blockquote>
<h3>Creating a New Narrative</h3>
<p>A new narrative is ready to be born from this potential. Work inside yourself - break down any resistant neural pathways that attached you to the old reality. Now watch for the possibility, concealed within any emotional anxiety - which in itself, also conceals the nervous anticipation of something wonderful ready to create itself.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Look for this new manifestation all around you. But don't expect it to exactly replace what you had. Let yourself innovate. Let an entirely new creation flow through you and out into your life. Step positively in the direction of the forming energy. Give yourself fully to the new narrative.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>This way, the grief of loss, leads to the unexpectedly exquisite. Let's make sure we seize the opportunity. It makes the pain of the lesson worthwhile. It gives it value and meaning. You are propelled positively forwards.<br />
<a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_Mini_Movie_Unleashing_Your_Cosmic_Self"><strong>Here's how to unleash your Cosmic Self</strong></a></p>
<h3>Time to Greet Yourself in Your own Mirror</h3>
<p><strong>When grief arises at sense of loss, it's because you've lost yourself in the mirror of life that you manifested.</strong></p>
<p><strong><i>But this also tells you something: you're ready to greet yourself again!</i></strong></p>
<p><strong>So let go of the grief now, and welcome yourself, back into your own loving embrace, so that love in the external, may be reborn once more...</strong></p>

These days grief and loss are subjects close to my heart. </p>
<p>I have observed that there seems to be a coupling between grief and a sense of aliveness and potential - just as with death and life. As you say, the stronger one is, the stronger the feeling of the other. And the route through is emptiness. </p>
<p>So, just wanted to echo that as it is my observation too. Lots about this in the book I'm writing. </p>
<p>I've also observed that grief can be expressed in a very beautiful way. When you realise that the feeling behind it is one of love and, like you say, you bring that back inside yourself. Then, you can express that in the most beautiful of ways through being creative. And, if you can bring the love back inside yourself, you'll find the well is very, very deep.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Much love,</p>
<p>Rich</p>

My heart is with you! Fear not, it is necessary. You can't truly access the New Paradigm without regressing into and processing karmic 'Source Pain'. This is subconscious conditioning that projects out into your world and has a disharmonious impact on your life. It's unavoidable, this karma brought souls here in order to confront such limitation and evolve through it - the only way out is through! Such spiritual breakthrough comes with enormous sense of well-being, rejuvenation, empowerment and growth. Here's Openhand's detailed approach to processing karmic trauma when it activates:</p>
<!--break-->
<h3>Openhand 9 Step Healing Process for breaking through Karmic Trauma</h3>
<p>Openhand has been working now with evolving people around the world for many years. It's from that collated experience that we've developed this 9 Step Spiritual Healing Process. It's all about helping you regress into your karmic pain, work with it, then breakthrough it into a more expanded state of being. This is taken from the Openhand book <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5GATEWAYS_book">5GATEWAYS: a profound spiritual routemap</a>:</p>
<blockquote><ul>
<li><i><strong>1. Confront the situation:</strong> you must first accept and completely acknowledge the truth of what is happening in your world. Get thoroughly used to observing yourself and accepting responsibility for your feelings in relation to what is going on in the situation. If you get tight, angry or wound up, acknowledge it. If someone is steamrollering your truth and that feels unpleasant, witness that too. Do not shy away from, or paper over, any inner retraction caused by events and other people in the outside world. By the Law of Attraction you have manifested them anyway, so as to confront and break through such a limitation. Embrace that.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>2. Regress deeply into the feelings of the situation:</strong> it may not be appropriate for you to deal with the feelings in the moment they are coming up - you could be at work for example, in public or looking after your children. It is important not to suppress and dissolve the feelings, but rather to contain them: you get the sense that they are inside you, but you are on top of them and can manage them. When the timing is more appropriate (and as soon as possible), regress yourself deeply into the feelings once more: see the images, feel the feelings, let them come up inside.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>3. Honour and express the pain:</strong> essentially this source pain is caused where your soul identifies somehow with the illusion of separation and the need for a particular outcome – where the soul is not self-realised (not realising of the One). However, if you honour the pain by fully expressing it in some way, then you become 'as-one' with it – you relocate the lost nugget of soul gold that was buried there and you reintegrate as the One. Honouring the pain might mean shouting and screaming, crying, rolling up into a ball, beating a punch bag or cushion, writing a journal or dancing and moving. Listen to your soul, and do whatever you feel given to do.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>4. Break through with presence:</strong> when the source pain is at its height, when you can truly locate and feel it within your body, such that it is becoming excruciating, then paradoxically, you are ready to become the One through it; you are on the very precipice of presence. Remind yourself that all experience is relativistic and therefore transient – it does not define who you are. What you are, is absolute pure potential, beyond the pain. At this point, there will be some key (such as a word, mantra, a visualisation or symbolic metaphor) to help you ‘open the door’ through the density and into presence. If you are not sure what that is, ask the universe and you will be shown.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>5. Feel the light of the soul:</strong> when you’ve stepped into the sense of presence, then you are really processing and letting go of the density – it is like you are stirring the bed of the stream in which the nuggets of soul gold have become buried. Now you will be able to see and feel the glint of the soul as it is being liberated. It will be a sense of lightness, completeness, confidence, strength, surrender; you may feel it as a light or warmth beginning to flow into the body, through the previous restriction. Now focus on, and give energy to, this new sensation. It is like pouring fuel on an igniting flame – it grows stronger.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>6. Dissolve the source pain:</strong> you are now ready to truly dissolve and fully release that aspect of source pain. Whilst staying in the sense of Pure Presence, intuit how your connection with your emerging soul, can best process the dense energy of the source pain. You have to remain soft and expanded, so that you do not tighten down out of the energy that causes the pain. So stay expanded through it, containing it within your consciousness, but then use whatever meditation comes to you to remove it. It could be a particular form of breathing, movement and dance, or it could be a visualisation. Let your intuition carry you – it already knows what best to do.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>7. Contemplate deeply any conditioned behaviours:</strong> the source pain will have built up conditioned behaviours (as spoken of in Gateway 2). Now deeply contemplate what conditioning – what distortions – the source pain has caused in your life. Maybe, for example, you were needy of others? Or perhaps too competitive and aggressive. See yourself within those behaviours, being totally honest with yourself about them (reminding yourself, if necessary, that you are not to blame for them). It can help to write them down in a journal.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>8. Visualise yourself interrupting the behaviours:</strong> in motivational and spiritual circles, people often speak of visualising the outcome or behaviour you would like to have happen. The risk is though, that this just becomes another level of programming. Instead, see yourself interrupting the behaviours that have emanated from the source pain. As you get increasingly sensitive, you will begin to actually feel the density and any fixed neural pathways. With a sense of surrendered will, you can begin to break these apart and literally dissolve them within.</i></li>
<li><i><strong>9. Become surrendered openness, attune to authentic beingness:</strong> as the density and conditioned behaviours have been dissolved inside, increasingly you settle into an awesome place of surrendered openness: you feel expansive, peaceful, whole and complete. You are now much more able to interrupt the old behaviours in daily life and open up through them. Spontaneous acts of authentic beingness then begin to magically flow through you, which are totally right and befitting of the moment. It is like you become less an identity, and more a moving flow of consciousness through life. This is pure joy of living! (I have written more about the qualities of authentic beingness that start to come through, and to which you can give energy, in Gateway 4).</i></li>
</ul>
</blockquote>
<h2>Breaking through with 5GATEWAYS</h2>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5GATEWAYS_book"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/NEW%205G%202d%20book%20cover.jpg" width="180" /></a>These are turbulent times. So don't worry if you find yourself frequently getting into rough processing periods. It is necessary in order to confront the limitations of the old consciousness. Know that you are not alone - people the world over are working through this density. Just seize the courage to confront and soften into your inner density - in which case, that particular phase will be over before you know it. And always remember, each breakthrough process comes with that tremendous sense of recovering a deeper aspect of yourself - becoming ever more of YOU! If you need assistance, do consider the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/openhand_facilitators">Openhand Facilitator Network</a> who are all trained in working through such density with people. And check out <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/5GATEWAYS_book">the 5GATEWAYS Book</a>. It goes much deeper than the film, providing many similar processes, tools, tips and advice for walking the path into the New Paradigm.</p>

<p>Step 1 was to accept & acknowledge my envy, which I did by writing my post on my thread Alex's Experiences.</p>
<p>Step 2 is something I'm very experienced in, as I've done many years of regressive therapy, so that came quite naturally as a result.</p>
<p>With step 3, I felt the pull to honour & express the pain of the envy by doing some of my creative drawing. The source pain then revealed itself as despair. However, when I got in touch with this despair, it felt difficult to stay with that feeling, & I became aware that I was starting to "numb it out", to move into my default of boredom & depression.</p>
<p>Therefore, I couldn't (wouldn't?) allow the source pain to reach it's height, which is what step 4 entails. I'm now left feeling that I'm a failure - I can't do these steps successfully or properly.</p>
<p>Perhaps my despair feels too "big" to dive into, or I don't know how to dive into it, or I'm too scared to dive into it, or there's some kind of other obstacle preventing me from diving into it.</p>
<p>It's easy for you, Open, to say "dive into your source pain" - but just how do I do that when I just can't see (or know) HOW???</p>
<p>I probably need to book another session with my Openhand spiritual coach.</p>

<p>Please don't take this the wrong way, and I know it's not easy, but despite the past advice, you're still missing the basic point: that to distract yourself from the feeling is avoidance and therefore you won't get into the underlying source pain. This is a consistent thing you keep doing - it seems to be some kind of program you've picked up from previous processes elsewhere - it's not your fault, it's a limitation I observe is prevalent in the spiritual mainstream: that of trying to change reality into something more favourable to the ego.</p>
<p>You said...</p>
<ul>I felt the pull to honour & express the pain of the envy by doing some of my creative drawing. The source pain then revealed itself as despair. However, when I got in touch with this despair, it felt difficult to stay with that feeling, & I became aware that I was starting to "numb it out", to move into my default of boredom & depression.</ul>
<p>"Expressing the Pain" means to <strong>be in the pain</strong>. In this case envy. To let yourself feel into it.</p>
<p>What I've noticed you do, is that once you start to get anywhere near anything that's truly, deeply embedded, you tend to go into an emotional/psychological reaction which takes you out of the possibility to actually feel into the pain. Previously I've called it "the fizz" that distracts from the deep subconscious.</p>
<p>The deep subconscious source pain, once you get through this fizz, may only begin as a slight vibration - barely recognisable as anything. But this is where you need to be. It feels like boredom is another reaction that prevents full exploration of the moment.</p>
<p>This is what I've been working to get at within your process.</p>
<p>Open :-)</p>

I initially had an angry reaction to reading it, like I felt you didn't understand or weren't hearing me correctly.</p>
<p>After 3 days of pondering, my anger has now subsided & I can now respond to your post in a more calm & detached way.</p>
<p>During the experience I described in my post above, & in my longer post on the "Alex's Experiences" thread, I mentioned how I'd "felt into" my painful, acute feelings of envy, which seemed like a "surface level" experience, & had then briefly touched the emotion of despair, which seemed to me to be the "source pain".</p>
<p>You wrote:</p>
<p>"The deep subconscious source pain, once you get through this fizz, may only begin as a slight vibration - barely recognisable as anything. But this is where you need to be."</p>
<p>I understand & agree with your suggestions, but my point was that it was difficult enough for me to do what I did on that day - to feel into my envy & briefly touch my source pain of despair - although I think it may even be that the despair isn't yet my true source pain, but a "stepping stone" towards that.</p>
<p>For me, it felt like progress just to get to that far, it's like my "being" won't let me go any faster, much as I'd like that. I seem to have some internal self-regulating mechanism that will only allow me to experience a certain level of pain at a given moment in a given situation, & will then "shut down" the pain by some "distraction" as you call it - numbing out, boredom, depression, anger or rage. This is something I appear to have no control over - I can't force myself to experience more pain (or to "dive into" it as you so often say) - it just doesn't work that way for me.</p>
<p>The analogy that comes to mind is trying to drive a car by depressing the gas pedal when the brake pedal has been strongly applied - however much gas you apply, the car will slow down & stop because the brakes are more powerful than the engine. In my analogy depressing the gas pedal is my attempt to feel into (or dive into) my source pain, & depressing the brake pedal is my unconscious & automatic self-regulating mechanism of shutting down the pain when it becomes intolerable.</p>
<p>Another way of putting it might be that my resistances to "diving into" the pain are still much greater than my willingness (or desire?) to do so.</p>
<p>You might be one of those fortunate people who can just "dive into" their source pain, but I am not. Believe me I've tried, in various ways over the last 20 years or so to do just that, initially through various forms of psychotherapy & more recently through more spiritual approaches, including most recently, the Openhand approach as described in your article above.</p>
<p>My intuition tells me that I will experience a breakthrough with this at some stage (perhaps that will be what you describe as passing through Gateway 1), that I will be able to go fully into my source pain & through that into presence, but for me it's slow progress - one step at a time.</p>
<p>I sometimes wonder, if I'm honest, whether the 5 Gateways sequence will be the one I experience, or whether my spiritual path will take me on another route. I sense that "trying too hard" to follow the 5 Gateways model might be counter-productive for me - seeking a particular outcome, when the Universe might have a different way for my soul to evolve & self-realise. That last part was a bit difficult for me to admit & to share on this forum.</p>
<p>It's been a recurrent theme for me that I've experienced spiritual practitioners & others pushing me (or pressurising me) to go faster in my process than feels right for me. Ultimately, I have to decide for myself how quickly I can go. There may be hidden karmic or other reasons for my apparent slow progress, & I don't mean to say that to excuse myself from anything.</p>
<p>Nevertheless, I'm glad that I'm part of the Openhand Community, & I do appreciate & welcome your comments & suggestions, Open, & those of others on the forums too.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Alex</p>

<p>My heart goes out to you. I've felt like a failure many times when I've pulled back, too fearful to go deeper. F___, it's so not easy! And for a good part of my life, I've often felt the need to go faster and better, which was a coping mechanism in my childhood and teenage years to both prove my worth and distract myself from the pain and the sadness of family dysfunction. Which I still do. at times. Thanks to Kim, my wonderful and stalwart coach, for helping me to realize this. Perhaps, deep down, you feel you must go faster and better like I do and then project that others are demanding this of you. I'm aware that I project this conditioned belief outwards whenever I feel that others are cracking the whip! All I see is a part of me. The outer mirror always reveals the state of my inner consciousness. I'm getting better at interrupting the blame game i.e. "You did this to me." How tempting is that ha!</p>
<p>Most of us have had strong and relentless societal conditioning around achieving outcomes and going full force to reach our goals. I experienced this recently while meditating, wanting desperately to stay in the Love/Light space I was feeling and kept losing due to distracted thoughts. And then feeling totally pissed off and frustrated. I go in and out of attachment to outcomes. I accept what Open says. That when we aim for enlightenment, we've already separated ourselves from Source. And, in general, when we try to control the flow, we separate ourselves from the divine flow. What a huge challenge that is. Letting go of control!</p>
<p>When all is said and done, what I truly feel is that we are all doing the best we can and that acceptance of where we're at, without judgment, is the key to letting the pain go. And there are no timelines to get to that space. Sometimes I resist. And sometimes I accept and find the doorway into the Light. </p>
<p>Take heart, my friend. As Open, says, it's not your fault. We're not to blame ourselves for our "shitty" conditioning, but we are responsible for letting it go. You've stepped up to the plate quite admirably. One day, you and I will look around and find that we're at Home Base.</p>
<p>Much Love to you,</p>
<p>x Catherine</p>

<p>I totally understand where you're at. That's absolutely not a problem. Each person should go at the speed they feel able to manage. As long as you keep testing and exploring.</p>
<p>I believe 5GATEWAYS is the natural evolutionary path for everyone. It's simply 'calling' the ascensionary process as I see it. However, that doesn't mean everyone will be ready for it in this cycle.</p>
<p>It may well be that it will naturally come in other incarnations. And that's fine.</p>
<p>What I would say, is that we don't exactly promote this work. People are drawn to it for a reason. So something must have drawn you.</p>
<p>That said, if you felt your path lay elsewhere, in a different direction, then you must honour that too.</p>
<p>Wishing you well</p>
<p>Open</p>

Yes, I agree with you that there is some part of me, that is projecting this idea of having to go faster & better, onto others including Open. It's something that I could well do with letting go of, & perhaps writing about it on this forum, & having it witnessed & "heard" by you & others, is a step towards that. I can be a very hard "task master" towards myself, cracking the whip & expecting/forcing myself to do things that are beyond my capabilities at this moment.</p>
<p>Many thanks Open for your understanding & your wise, supportive comments. Reading your post somehow took some of the pressure off me, & brought me a feeling of relief, contentment, that I'm doing OK. It's opened something up for me, which I can't quite put my finger on right now, but may be able to later.</p>
<p>After reading these 2 posts while I was out doing my voluntary job at the Credit Union, I came home & felt a pull to listen to some music that I find sad & was able to have a bit of a cry, to shed a few tears which I don't ordinarily find easy to do at all. I haven't listened to those particular tracks for a while, & it felt significant to do so, to release something, to let something go...</p>
<p>I appreciate these Openhand forums very much.</p>
<p>Blessings,</p>
<p>Alex</p>

<p>My gratitude for a truly succint and inspiring piece. It is always such great comfort to be reminded that this journey is not not mine alone and that as humanity we are facing our most rapid and enormous growth and we must be also congniscient of what little Souls we are indeed! Feels like the nerdy class :)</p>
<p>Open, I would like to iterate on an point that you made in one of your articles. That is to always be fully aware and understand what we asking for when we seek to confront our pain, to ascend, to connect and flow to Source. It has been very dark, and very painful and mostly because once I committed to my soul journey I was shown my mirror fully and naturally my broken bits were infected with this pain I speak of and I didn't even know I had those broken bits to begin with!</p>
<p>So hence I just wanted to say this, if I only knew back then what I was asking for! :) </p>
<p>I am grateful always. My pain has been and still is my greatest catalyst.</p>
<p>God Bless,</p>
<p>Love,</p>
<p>Nivasha</p>

<p>Yes that's it - you can't connect to the flow for any length of time if repressed density is dragging you back! So get into it, work with it - process it out - and you'll be flying on the outstretched wings of the soul!</p>

I get it, I understand and if you ever feel like you just need someone to just stand by you.. I am here. I don't know who you are and you don't know who I am.. But what does that ever matter huh?!! You are not alone.</p>
<p>Breathe, all will be well if you allow it to be well. Never be afraid to just say allowed, I have fear. Especially if people are nearby you. That is most definitely a moment in time when you allow others to soothe your soul and in turn you soothe theirs by sharing. </p>
<p>Ive faced head on fear's face in my life and until my last breath I will shout loud and roar to all who ever hear me.. Never fear anything or anyone. </p>
<p>I have learned something so completely extraordinary here in my month of visiting this website. Open talks alot about softening into oneself. At first this concept was very alien to me, but in practicing it and trying to maintain that it has helped part of my journey in staring down the many facets of pain I've stored up along the way. So if it helps, when you have a panic attack etc, just stop - breathe, look at all the facets that cause this anxiety and carry on when you and only you are able to.</p>
<p>I hope and pray this helps,<br />

You are working through this even though it may seem as if your not making any progress, even the very thought of doing anything about it is progress!! Never thought I would use this word - Density - but when the Density gets far to thick, have you tried just saying NO! HELL NO..?! If not, I give you permission to use my words hehe :) Make them up even, because your power can never be taken by anyone but yourself. Now I'm still learning the language of Openhand, so if my words don't seem quite as elegant or eloquent as most are then please forgive my somewhat crude mannerisms lol!<br />
Density to me is thick dark energy that is easily dispelled, yet energy is the most beautiful symphony being played out universally. So with that being said, how about some music that soothes your soul? It is always possible to stop wherever you are and hear music everywhere. Even in a car going by because even that vehicle has its own energetic signature which is just another form music. People even, milling about and running to and fro have their own music, everything is music and you yourself are the most beautiful symphony.. Say that to yourself, scream it even.. I AM MUSIC and nothing can ever stop a melody from going forth. Nothing.<br />
The Tube and Shakti I looked up online because I did not know what those terms were LOL, how awesome!! I learned something new, so thank you for that!!<br />
btw: Im not a counselor or anything, Im just some random Woman running amok on planet earth that refuses to fear anything, even if it stops me in my tracks and I have to trudge, snail crawl through it! </p>

What a joy it is to witness your connection. Thank you. Yes, I can feel your fear.<br />
My experience is that there is a subtle balance to be kept between infusing soul - there is so much that is not caught in the eddy current of fear - and confronting the fear head on.<br />
So balancing music or walks in nature or dance or touch or wonderful food or whatever makes your heart sing with regressing back to the feeling you get in the tube. Maybe you don't have to go on the tube right now. The feeling is within you. Find a place you feel safe and then evoke the feeling you get on the tube and keep breathing. Keep softening. Get interested in how it feels - what tightens and keep breathing. Keep watching and feeling. It is just an experience, just energy, not you. Breath by breath. Take it slowly maybe. Little by little a day at a time. You will get there- it's a nine step process but it doesn't all have to happen in one bang. Just take the next step. You don't need to know the source of the pain or where you will end up right now you just need to be here and now - your experience in each moment is the key. The meditations on this website could be a great support. Go gently and slowly we are with you. You are not alone.</p>

<p>Opkani, use the distraction while working through your fear most definitely! I say anything that calms you and brings inner peace is well worth the effort.<br />
The steps here are absolutely brilliant, just another reason for me to be thankful for finding this site. Think I'll write them down myself too and hand them out to my family/people that are going through life's moments/karmic trauma.</p>
<p>I was thinking last night about this and how poetic/synchronistic for me this is it too. Just Friday night I went to a family gathering and I was telling them that I was "quitting/going on vacation" from being the protector/guardian of them. That I'm getting to old for this sh.. Then my nephew was relaying all kinds of stories and others were chiming in etc.</p>
<p>So ok then! Okpani just always know you are never alone, everyone has moments of sweaty palms and internal convulsions. But this is your story, your life, your moment in time. Let your spirit shine and just know beyond a shadow of a doubt that you will get through this no matter what... Even if it takes an hour, week or whatever time you allow it. </p>
<p>Bless your Soul!!<br />

<p>I feel you there. I myself had a past life experience of being kept in a box, and now I have a very big body which doesn't quite fit anywhere, so this is how I'm dealing with this Karma. It sounds really like some Karma has been triggered for you too Okpani. </p>
<p>I believe that most fear can be traced back to a fear of death - that is, the fear of the unknown, the fear of obliteration, the fear (as you said in your first post) of losing yourself. </p>
<p>To me, giving myself practice feeling these things can be hugely beneficial. One of my favourite ways to do this is to go out for a walk and find a place relatively free of danger, and then close my eyes and walk like this. It is a real test of stepping into the unknown and I don't last long, but it's a great opportunity to bring up this fear in a safe environment and work with it, knowing you can open your eyes at any moment.</p>
<p>The same could be applied to you - take yourself into a mock scenario where you feel trapped, unable to move, and work through the 9-step process. There are many ways to induce fear, particularly if it close to the surface as in your case.</p>
<p>Then I would ask myself - who am i in this scenario (e.g. being on the tube)? Which is the part of me that cannot be touched, that cannot be confined, that cannot be suppressed? Then I would get to know this part of me and try to be that in these scary scenarios. </p>
<p>Hope that helps. I'm actually in the middle of writing a series of articles on 'Overcoming fear by embracing death' if anyone's interested. The series has 2 parts so far and theres likely to be at least one more part on the way. </p>

Those articles you wrote on fear are awesome! It is about death, which within itself is just an ending to something or another. How your dealing with your box though is brilliant. I like your web of identity too, the many facets of oneself gives a particular pin pointed view on who, how and why a person is the way they are. In turn just knowing you are that, but allowing yourself to be so much more and not confined to a pin point is freeing in and of itself. </p>
<p>Okpani, whatever helps you be free is priceless I say! You go Girl :)</p>

They show us how the Buddhist perspective of ever-changing self can be linked to Neuroscientific research and that our personalities change over the course of our lives. What is interesting about this second study is that most of the research out there suggests that personality is fairly stable. However, they have all been conducted up to middle age, and this study went all the way from ages 14-77. It suggest that the bigger changes in personality begin to happen after middle age. Of course this is the period in our lives when we will have to say goodbye to many of the people, objects and situations that we have identified with. It shows how losing these things can affect who we are. We may become different people as the things that we hold dear get ripped away from us.</p>

<p>First of all, reading this was very helpful. Thanks!</p>
<p>Open talks about processing karma that arises in a given ordinary situation. But can I intentionally sit down and process karma from past memories that I associate with my current limiting behaviours? If so, I have these questions:</p>
<p>1) When I know it's enough? I tried to follow these steps yesterday when intentionally confronting a memory from my childhood and I felt good and somewhat relieved. But how can I tell if this karma was fully processed? You know, I'm still on the beginning of my journey, so I don't have enough sensitivity to dig deep in my feelings (actually, I struggled a bit to shut up my mind chatting). Should I repeat the regression to this memory to reinforce the release?</p>
<p>2) Is it recommended to do this intentional cleaning as a daily routine? Yeah, I know that as I walk the Path my 'crap' gradually gets cleaned... but since I don't have many hours at my disposal to meditate, doing this may speed up the process, right? (of releasing karma)</p>
<p>Thank you.</p>
<p>*and sorry in advance for any english mistakes*</p>

<p>The Openhand approach to Karma is to let it happen, let it arise by itself. Because it can't be pre-empted. It's actually supposed to catch you in a blind spot! Otherwise it tends not to feel real when you process it.</p>
<p>However, what we can do is turn up the volume on soul integration so karma activates by itself. Meditation is of course a great way to do this - so infusing soul, but without preconceived intention about where it will lead.</p>
<p>So the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/Openhand_breakthrough_breathing_meditation">Breakthrough Breathing Meditation</a> would be a great way to do that (for example) - or any other form of meditation that helps infuse soul.</p>
<p>What's going to happen then, is internal blockages will be activated as you follow the path. And these will project into your life circumstances - relationships, career, general living circumstances. A problem will kick off which causes tightness inside - that's when to apply this 9step healing process.</p>
<p>How do you know when it's complete?</p>
<p>In short, you will simply know!</p>
<p>What is likely to happen, is that you'll hit plateaus where everything feels okay. I'd suggest not trying to intentionally dig to find more at this point. Accept the rest, rejuvenation and relaxation. But then go back to the soul infusion meditation until more karma kicks off by itself.</p>
<p>I trust this helps</p>
<p>Open <3</p>

I have a question . There is someone at work I believe I have a deep karmic relationship with . His energy is quite dense but I feel the undeniable pull in my heart chakra that I have come to recognise as the calling card of karmic relationships . I once had a dream in which I was an oracle in Greece and he was the son of the Queen . I believe she too is incarnated as my boss at work( she is very maternal towards this man too) . With work I am able to actually feel into the energy body between us . It is dark and dense energy and this person is extremely shut down . This is a very challenging interaction as I seem to either shut down (so as not to feel the intensity ) or get disturbed with various chakra sensations activated . We are both married and so he is not available to me to work karma with in a third dimensional sense .<br />
Since the only way out seems to be through ,I have really had to up my game :) . Thanks to the weird sidetrack my life has taken ,I am editing a lot more and have been spurred to do a lot of soul searching . Disengagement still eludes me though . Any insights are most welcome .</p>

<p>This happens a great deal. Because of some mutual karma, the law of attraction draws you together. But frequently, the other person might not be ready to process and release. It doesn't have to stop you doing that though, even if the other isn't aware.</p>
<p>Let the proximity activate the feeling - then work into the feeling. Work to reclaim your soul sovereignty from the energy body that was formed between you. </p>
<p>You may find some situation arises where you're called to visibly reclaim your power, in how the relationship functions now. Yet without the other even realising it, you still reclaim your karmic power.</p>
<p>So you can still process.</p>
<p>Namaste</p>

I had the same experience where I felt I was physically flat lining into a life of acceptance as i felt i could not change my life circumstances. However, there was a bigger plan forming. My first love stepped in and gave me an electric shock to the point sparks were coming out of my head!!!! kundilini rising!!!! i did not care that I was in a relationship of 23 years...this experience felt right and we remained blissfully in a bubble of pure love for 3 months. However, I also checked into my shadow side back to my childhood - by inner child needed attention. I was repeating the same pattern from my teens as the damaged soul. However, the bubble burst when he felt not a good idea to continue the relationship as someone would get hurt. I persisted and persisted to the point my heart broke in two as I felt we were compatible on all levels. And the learning developed into self love and self worth. not behaving in a way that people expect me to be in order to meet their needs. The mould had been broken as I slowly reclaimed parts of myself from past and current relationships. Very painful learning experience and at the same time very powerful!!! I am no longer the same person. I have evolved and continue to do so.... we remain divinely connected.</p>

<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/five_gateways">5GATEWAYS</a> is not actually a prescriptive route or a path. It's more a framework for inquiry. </p>
<p>Consider the direction is to climb a mountain - like pass into the Fifth Density for example.</p>
<p>There will be many different pathways to the 'top'. However we'll all pass through particular altitudes on the way to the summit.</p>
<p>5GATEWAYS is more about saying: when people have climbed the 5D mountain before, like Jesus and the Buddha for example, they describe things at particular 'altitudes' that others also climbing might relate to. </p>
<p>For example, I know people that have walked a Buddhist path, or a shamanic path, or worked a great deal with Vipassana and yoga, who've all passed through Transfiguration (full kundalini activation at the culmination of Gateway 3) and described it in similar ways.</p>
<p>Each Gateway is the passage through a particular density. So what it's really saying, is that if you recognise your soul's yearning is to ascend into the 5D, then here are the kinds of experiences you'll likely have as you pass through each density. It says nothing about the route you may personally take through them.</p>
<p>If in engaging with the 5GATEWAYS framework you end up efforting for an outcome, then in this regard, it's an excellent mirror - it reflects that this might be something you do and need to let go of.</p>
<p>On what ever path your consider yourself on, I would say it's absolutely fundamental to own your own reactions to it, to take sovereignty of the experiences YOU manifest. Then you will never fail, because this tightness, provides the very route along which to travel. This tightness IS what stands in the way of progression. And so we're blessed, when whatever method we're applying, reveals it.</p>
<p>Remember always, your pain is the place where the light enters.</p>
<p>Namaste</p>
<p>Open <3</p>

<p>Coming from a Buddhist oriented background and having practised and academically studied Vipassana oriented approaches I found that the 5 Gateways offer an experiential and accessible form of inner-outer inquiry that can also be found (perhaps and sometimes verbalised slightly differently) in other 'spiritual' traditions. </p>
<p>For example, the kundalini phenomenon. I couldn't find anything relevant in the Theravada tradition - as yet - I am speaking with a senior teacher soon about it but found a lot in Tibetan tradition. There, they call it 'Tummo'. Very interesting. Along similar lines, I have found parallels for other Gateways in the Zen tradition.</p>
<p>It's very helpful and re-assuring to know that there is a guided inquiry in the 5 Gateways that is - this is important - accessible and clear for all people to take in. Often, this is not the case in more complex and loaded with cultural baggage traditions and approaches.</p>
<p>Of course, I am still working my way through it all and I find it very exciting!</p>

<p>aspasia</p>

<p class="node__title"><span class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden" data-quickedit-field-id="node/7958/title/und/full" property="schema:name">Well although karma is what defines one's incarnation, it's unlikely to manifest visibly until plenty of the surface layers of identity have been broken down. Because karma is contained at a higher frequency - hence the soul must expand out of the lower densities first. So I suggest, in the beginning, using the simplified Breakthrough Approach when you're getting used to breaking through the layers of tightness pertaining to identity. But then after some time - perhaps a few years on the path - you might notice these intense patterns of activity coming up which seem to blow up general living circumstances into much deeper meaning. It's likely you're then getting below the surface layers of identity and into karma.</span></p>
<p class="node__title"><span class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden" data-quickedit-field-id="node/7958/title/und/full" property="schema:name">So what I felt to do, was to take the simplified Breakthrough Approach and consider the various stages of breakthrough more deeply, more intricately. So really the 9 step approach (above) is an expansion of the Breakthrough Approach. They're essentially the same, just that in the 9 step approach, there's deeper awareness brought to different aspects of the unfolding.</span></p>

<p>awesome to hear that there is a lot of Energy going on in Byron Bay. There are so many karmic themes coming up in the last couple of months that i can barely keep up with treating them. It's like the floodgates are wide open and Karma is just pouring in wanting to be released.</p>
<p>My Situation here in Mali is giving me lots of opportunities for growth, as some of you know, i do actually construct a house which possibly could in future serve as a retreat Center something connected to healing. I know this is my purpose.</p>
<p>However, the more i advance with my healing skills, the more it becomes obvious to me that somewhere deep down inside i am scared of and hesitant (or doubting?) doing healing work, and feel like always being insufficiently prepared or not yet ready yet to work directly with human beings. I know from recent experciences that i can do powerful hands on healing and am able to look at others karma.</p>
<p>Now i am asking myself, is this coming from a lack of self-confidence or might i have had issues with the abuse of power in another life?</p>
<p>Thanks so much for this timely offer and have a great time in Autralia.</p>
<p>heartfelt greetings form Mali,</p>

<p>Yes we're getting very deep into karma here in Byron. One of the things you realise when you facilitate plenty of it, is that it comes with a great deal of responsibility. Because it destablises where the psyche was previously settled even; even if it was in karmic distortion, nevertheless, it was (in most cases) coherent and settled. So often you take people through a break down of this previously settled state. Now as long as you lovingly hold the space with solidity and confidence, they'll pick that up in you and process through. But the facilitator will witness dramatic and traumatic past life situations and so needs to be solid through it - otherwise the conditions exist for it to breakdown but without solidly processing through. So possibly its the responsibility of that you might be feeling?</p>
<p>Wishing you wll</p>

<p>My goodness, there is an inner avalanche going off with what you said. I think i intelectually understand what you mean, holding space is something i really like to do for others. However, internally the word 'responsibility' rings loudly and i think this excavated the karma that is now presenting itself in plain sight.</p>
<p>I am afraid to accept myself in my true size because I know inside that I am more than I am willing to admit. I know that I have a big life plan with a lot of responsibilities and at a rational level I know well that I can handle it, get closer step by step and have a decent amount of time at my disposal. The same with the refusal of fully unfolding the angelic wings and the subsequent pain in the back, where they are attached - that's because I make myself smaller than I actually am. My ego (or is it really the soul?) prefers to stay small and unimportant, that's safer. Is that being afraid of arrogance? Being scared that my future success will go to my head? I have the idea that i've had great power in another life and did not use it in a responsible way, costing me my life. Now there is the avoidance and lack of acceptance of my true self with all its powers. </p>
<p>Does that make sense?</p>

<p>I often obeserve the fear people have in the emergence of soul, because it is so alchemical. It challenges the status quo. It breaks things down and transforms things. Hence the sense of responsibility.</p>
<p>But neither must that hold us back. There's a balance. Let the emergence of soul happen - but let the outer feedback reflections invite greater accuracy and alignment of expression.</p>
<p>In yourself, that will challenge where the ego tempers the natural authenticity. This is the inner density to be worked through.</p>
<p>I trust that makes sense.</p>

<p>You said:</p>
<blockquote><p> </p>
<p> The same with the refusal of fully unfolding the angelic wings and the subsequent pain in the back, where they are attached - that's because I make myself smaller than I actually am. My ego (or is it really the soul?) prefers to stay small and unimportant, that's safer. Is that being afraid of arrogance? Being scared that my future success will go to my head? I have the idea that i've had great power in another life and did not use it in a responsible way, costing me my life. Now there is the avoidance and lack of acceptance of my true self with all its powers.</p>
<p> </p>
</blockquote>
<p>I can certainly relate to this. I have exactly the same pain in the back and have had the same explorations around using the power I have. To your question about whether it's the ego or the soul that prefers to stay small and unimportant - I would reflect to you that perhaps you can find both in this. If you're attached to this and it's bringing up tightness and fear to unfold your wings then sure, that's something we could call ego and can be let go of. However, I would say there's also a deeper truth behind it. Perhaps you can explore expressing your power while still remaining humble? Be careful with this because 'being humble' can also become an ego identity. But if you can drop the tightness around being in your power, and any need for approval from others, then perhaps being humble will arise naturally. </p>
<p>Something else to explore would be to ask the question, 'what is your natural expression?' and then, 'if this is expression arises naturally, without being forced, then what need would you have to either elevate yourself or put yourself down?'</p>
<p>If I may also share a brief article on responsibility I wrote some time ago. I hope it helps: <a href="http://www.comebacktothesource.com/articles/are-you-responsible-for-other-peoples-suffering">http://www.comebacktothesource.com/articles/are-you-responsible-for-other-peoples-suffering</a></p>

<p>I seem to be in a brief phase of realignment where there are more aligned out situations manifesting for after processing some stuff. However, there are still ongoing Karmic distortions - they seem to come in waves.</p>
<p>For me there seems to be a fair bit of karma associated with Sirius at the moment. </p>
<p>Firstly, I totally resonate with what Megha said in another thread about not being heard. Being ignored has been a major button pusher for me. As has been rejection of my ideas if I can clearly see that someones pattern is causing them suffering or is not aligned.</p>
<p>And this ties in with another Karmic exploration - that of control. One specific situation as an example. We are trying to teach my 7 year old daughter a few basic table manners. The 'problem' is that the way she eats she ends up with food all over her face, over the table, her clothes and often on the floor. Yet she is stubbornly refusing to change any of her habits because they are comfortable for her. I can see that I have a need to control the situation and to impose a reality onto her. Ultimately I can see that there is no need for her to change if she is happy with getting everything messy. However, it triggers some kind of parental responsibility to show her - whats coming up now is 'if I don't show her then she won't learn because I doubt anyone else will make the effort'. </p>
<p>So this also leads into an emotional need to be a part of the family unit. As I've separated from my partner in the last year, there has been a feeling of being emotionally 'cast aside'. It's also reflected in my reaction when the kids don't want me near them (especially if I'm not able to see the reason) or in both my ex-partners and my kids apparently not caring whether I'm there or not.</p>
<p>There are other things - as I said a lot coming up at the moment - but I'll leave it at that for now. </p>
<p>Rich</p>

<p>Some real gems there, thanks for sharing <img alt="Thumbs Up Sign" height="20" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/libraries/smiley/images/ios/Hand Signs/Thumbs_Up_Sign_Emoji_Icon_ios10.png" title="Thumbs Up Sign" width="19" /></p>
<p>This stood out...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Perhaps you can explore expressing your power while still remaining humble? Be careful with this because 'being humble' can also become an ego identity. But if you can drop the tightness around being in your power, and any need for approval from others, then perhaps being humble will arise naturally. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>That's the point - ego and shadow identities will try to own all aspects and authentic expressions of soul. Being humble doesn't mean to take off your wings, but perhaps knowing exactly when to unfold them!</p>
<p>And with bringing up children...</p>
<blockquote><p><em>It triggers some kind of parental responsibility to show her - whats coming up now is 'if I don't show her then she won't learn because I doubt anyone else will make the effort'. </em></p>
</blockquote>
<p>This is a 'biggie' - the perception that if 'we don't show our kids how to be in society, then we've failed'. And this leads to the subtle (and sometimes not so subtle!) projection of how they should be. This is where it becomes necessary to confront all ones own conditioning of what's 'right' in the matrix. She will indeed change her eating behaviour, but right now, this would appear to be her natural expression. Have you considered that the messiness might be a subconscious reaction to the family change? To your absence?</p>
<p>Powerful explorations indeed</p>

<p>thank you so much for your stepping in and bringing up so many aspects of responsibility and authenticity.</p>
<p>Throughout many lifetimes i was what i call "the ever persecuted mystic", always carrying secret knowledge and consequently being in trouble a lot. I feel that standing up to my authentic self and shining my full light is something that creates tension with all these past lifes, where i would have endangered myself.</p>
<p>I see clearly now that everyone is responsible for their healing process and that i can hold the space and assume the "responsibility" - by living in my heart - for the smooth processing of karma. However, i do not look at taking this kind of responsibility as a burden anymore but much more as a divine privilege that i am humbly willing to accept. That exploration feels very liberating.</p>
<p>And all this for my birthday :) a truely magical present. Much love from Africa.</p>

There's a profound spiritual possibility open to all people: the opportunity to be absolutely connected to the source of all life, and have that energy steer you in the direction of destiny. Kundalini is the natural creative alignment with the divine; it is our inherent birthright that most have been separated from. How do you unify lower and higher self so that you may reactivate your Kundalini? What would be the advantages of doing so? Activating Kundalini is like connecting to the fast track of the internal superhighway - plugging directly into the 'mains' of universal consciousness. It leads to a divine life of interconnected joy, through streaming synchronicity... </p>
<!--break-->
<h3>What is Kundalini?</h3>
<p>To me the soul is a flowing stream of consciousness, out from the source and back again. In an aligned state, it's an eternal flow of creativity, symbolised by the figure 8. You're in creative alignment with the divine, every step feels interconnected with the Universe, an orchestra of synchronicity sounding in your ears. It's like every action is supported, and even when your creative manifestation is blocked in the physical world by someone or something, you're still able to appreciate the deeper significance, the deeper meaning, the higher teaching that all co-creators in the event are being invited to realise. This interconnected flow of creativity is the sacred dance of an aligned and balanced soul. This is Kundalini.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Most - if not all - have suffered the loss of this inherent condition early in life, which is essentially caused by 4th density karma that separates lower from higher self, and then builds a limiting reality that perpetuates the polarity. This separation has then been exploited by society, fueled by an </i><i>interdimensional intervention - an <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/the_ET_intervention_of_planet_earth">Opposing Consciousness</a> - with the agenda of separating mankind from his divinity and creating an artificial reality in which to enslave him. When you look around you in the world at how humanity lives, it's easy to appreciate how effective this separation has been.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>We can reactivate this kundalini. And to do so will guide you on a profound journey of rediscovery of who you truly are and your place in the cosmos. You become once more an active channel for divine expression. So how do you do it? How do you reclaim your true nature?</p>
<h3>How to activate Kundalini?</h3>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/light%2Bbody.jpg" width="350" /> Firstly, it greatly helps to keep reminding yourself of the higher connection through spiritual practice. The power of meditation cannot be over stated. Of course there are many forms, but essentially the principle we're looking for is a way of softening identification with the lower physical/emotional nature - feeling through that and instead, touching the softness through and around us. It's experienced as a sense of expansiveness, pure light, stillness and peace. When you begin to embody this higher nature, there's a feeling of wellbeing and harmony: pure inner peace.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>It can be done through countless spiritual practices such as meditation, yoga, tai chi, martial arts, shamanism, crystal healing, sounding healing, aromatherapy, reiki, five rhythms dance, through connection with nature and probably one of the most powerful - <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/healing_divine_warrior_wounded_dragon_video">loving sexual intimacy</a>. </i>Essentially you're looking to soften identification with the lower self ego and it's distorted behaviourisms, transcending these and infusing soul. Then progressively you'll expand consciously and open out to the Higher Self. The more you integrate Higher Self connection, aligned behaviourism and the guiding flow of synchronicity, then the Higher Self begins to integrate into the Lower, which causes the activation of Kundalini. This is your flowing reconnection to the Source, that leads to "Transfigured" living.</p></blockquote>
<p>Hence in the activation of Kundalini, a great deal of inner work must be done. Firstly opening to the Higher Self attributes by softening the Lower Self identification, but then the Lower Self must be purified such that the Higher Self can integrate here and now. How might you do that?</p>
<h3>Opening the channels for Kundalini</h3>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Slide02_34.jpg" width="300" /></a>The Lower Self, composed of the physical body, the emotional body and lower mind has been essentially separated from the Higher Self by a karmic barrier in the fourth density which generates ego. It's a consciousness which addicts people to base levels of desire and neediness through disconnection from the divine. This leads to lack of trust, fear and the dwindling of self love as empowered sovereignty dwindles. It causes people to effort to control reality, generating the build-up of conditioned behaviours, isolating them further from their inherent connection. So essentially we must confront and break down these fear based patterns that embed the lower consciousness within our being.</p>
<blockquote><p><i>Imagine sitting in an orchestra of music where the base section is playing so loud, the finer sounds of the flute (for example) can no longer be heard nor felt. This is the effect within society of the denser vibrational consciousness.</i></p></blockquote>
<p>First you'll need to reconnect to the Soul through spiritual practice. Chakra Attunement Meditations can greatly help (check out Openhand's <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation">Chakra Opening and Attunement Meditation Download</a></strong>). But opening to the soul in the initial awakening (which often gets confused with Enlightenment) is only the beginning. It then becomes essential to attune your "Spiritual Compass" in order to follow the flow of the soul in daily life (explore the <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/openhand_approach_openway">Open<em>way process for attuning your Spiritual Compass).</em></a></strong></p>
<h3>Inner Purification on the Path to Full Kundalini Activation</h3>
<p>It's as you begin to follow the guidance of the soul, that it will start to take you through the areas of lower density that obstruct the full freedom of authentic expression through soul infusion. It leads you on a path of progressive purification of the Lower Self.</p>
<p>Here are 9 key areas you'll need to work on in terms of purifying the lower vehicles...</p>
<blockquote><p><em><strong>1) Fear and control:</strong></em><i> Mostly fear happens when we realise we cannot control the situation; we're needing a particular outcome or are resistant to what's really happening. It's all caused by false identification with who we think we are. Such erroneous perceived need, creates tightness and density which sucks the soul into it like water into a sponge. You can literally feel the contraction inside. Yet if we challenge this when it's happening, soften into the tightness and unwind the need of an outcome, then we find the universe shapes through us the 'Right Action' ('right' defined as being in alignment). Once more you feel your interconnectivity as the One Life.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>2) Food:</strong></em><i> industrialised and processed food is full of impurity. From preservatives to pesticides, hormones, antibiotics, artificial colourings and GMO, these disharmonious substances create 'excito-toxins' within the body. It becomes like white noise, contracting our consciousness into the denser vibrations. It's the same with meat and dairy, which many would argue the human body was not designed consume or digest. When people convert to a mainly plant based diet, they get healthier and their vibration rises. The sense of interconnectivity greatly increases (explore <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/forum/188">Openhand's Conscious Cafe</a></strong>).</i></p>
<p><em><strong>3) External distraction:</strong></em><i> It would seem society has been purposefully constructed to distract people from their inner self. Yet within rests the seat of our power - our kundalini. Our inner configuration of consciousness creates the reality we're experiencing. Both our aligned state and distortions are mirrored into the outer world. So trying to fix the outer is a pointless waste of time, and only distracts from the source of the creativity. Hence we must not only delve deep within, but be constantly attuning to our inner self through the events of our lives. You touch the place of the void - infinite potential - the crystal clear clarity of the Seer. Upon which, right action then flows through you. It could also be enjoyment within the physical world, but you do it because you feel a sense of rightness to it, there's no getting lost in it, and your actions are supported by co-creative synchronicity of the universe.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>4) Inner child/Inner teenager:</strong></em><i> when we're in the flow of life in this way, then the soul begins to integrate and infuse within. It's purpose is the empowered experience of the One. And so (assuming we allow it), the soul will flow into all the inner density that prevents the expansive freedom of an enlightened life - fueled by kundalini. Especially it will take us into our inner child and teenager identities - a complex inner web of fixed bahviours, fears and identifications with the illusion. The false self creates false reality filters through which we judge life thereby creating unaligned choices leading to disharmony. So as the soul now infuses, we must allow the contraction of these filters to expose themselves as inner tightness, but now soften and unwind into the constriction. We must challenge and confront the lower based behaviours, interrupting the old reactions and instead choosing the responses of our highest truth. This will unwind the old density.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>5) Matrix Consciousness:</strong></em><i> the limiting consciousness of the matrix is omnipresent through the field, influencing mind and emotions. It's a web of fixed ideas and behaviours - energy - which owns people. We think we're making free choices, but mostly they're confined within limiting fields and parameters. You appreciate this just as soon as you start making choices of the soul - you tend to rebel against the non-aligned ways of society. It's vitally important that we honour this new emerging truth, or we continue to strangle the life out of the soul. There's no need for conflict, but if we work at it, we can still express our truth with tact and without reservation. Sometimes this may mean saying or doing nothing, but in the process, embodying depth of truth that says energetically "this is where I stand!". It's all apart of the reattunement inside. If we're constantly expressing the soul, then it will strengthen within.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>6) Electrosmog including wifi:</strong></em><i> the surrounding field is full of interfering electronic frequencies from wifi, mobile phone networks, household electrical circuits, gadgets and appliances. They cause a huge amount of interference within our bodily field. If we can minimise the use of such gadgetry in our lives, then our biomagnetic field will become more harmonious and aligned.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>7) People that don't serve:</strong></em><i> We may find we have to let go of certain relationships - people that constantly remind you of the old consciousness and continue to suck you into it. There will be yet others who beneficially activate your old patterns so that you may break through them. Hence there'll be some relationships to maintain, even if they aren't always harmonious - because they challenge you to be more of you. But in these more challenging engagements, the key is to always take the opportunity to expand who you are within them, even if that means a degree of uncomfortable confrontation. If you're truly meant to be in that relationship, the person will come to accept you as who you truly are, even if they don't agree with you. They'll be brought to a place where they're not constantly challenging you. So be mindful of which relationships to maintain and which to release. Thus you're opening into the new consciousness and kundalini is strengthening within you through the application of aligned Right Action.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>8) Compassion for all life:</strong></em><i> Compassion is an inherent characteristic of the soul, signaled by the fact that we're interconnected with all life. Energetically, what we do to another sentient being, we do to ourselves. And if we deny the impact of our footprint on other life, then we're denying an inner aspect of ourselves too. So by exploring the choices we make in relation to the impact on life they have, causes us to increase our sensitivity and intimacy with the whole of life. From the clothes we wear to the food we eat, how we travel and what we consume in society, all these activities contain energy. As we become ever mindful of our actions, then compassion arises naturally, which increases the inflow of kundalini.</i></p>
<p><em><strong>9) Aligned Sexual Behaviour:</strong></em><i> fully expressing your sexuality is a powerful means of activating kundalini, whether by yourself or with a partner. But many are constricted by the karmic taboos of society or else distorted through misaligned sexual activity - exploitative and conditioning pornography for example. So it's essential to realign sexual behaviour. The practice of tantra can greatly help, by bringing the sacredness and non-attachment back into sexual expression. Essentially you're working to become fully conscious and only coming from the soul. This leads to freedom of expression, including surrender and empowerment - both dance together in loving embrace (check out Openhand's forum... </i><strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/exploring-sacred-sexuality"><em><span class="field field-name-title field-formatter-string field-type-string field-label-hidden" data-quickedit-field-id="node/9420/title/und/full" property="schema:name">Exploring Sacred Sexuality)</span></em></a></strong></p>

<h3>The pitfalls of Kundalini Activation</h3>
<p>It is essential to realise that you cannot divorce effective spiritual practice from its impact within our lives. So activation of the chakras will highlight the lessons you now need to work through, as you navigate the landscape of your relationships and external circumstances. It shines a spotlight on them. So you have to work through the distortions highlighted if the effect of the spiritual work is to be fully integrated within your being. So to activate and unleash balanced kundalini, there has to be integration of your spiritual beingness into your physical life.</p>
<p><span style="color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: auto; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: auto; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; display: inline !important; float: none;">Without this integration aforementioned, then spiritual practice becomes either ineffectual, or else it disconnects you from true reality. In extreme circumstances, some spiritual practice can lead to premature kundalini activation: it’s being forced without the proper integration of the new, higher beingness within your life. It’s like conducting too much electrical energy through a fuse that’s too small. It leads to ‘burn-out’. The person can become disconnected from a true interrelation with the world. They will seem distanced, aloof, spaced-out and not really in their body. It can also lead to psychotic behaviour. We have to be mindful then of practices which unnaturally force kundalini without the proper integration of the higher spiritual behaviour in our lives. In my experience, psychedelic drugs such as Ayahuasca and also forced kundalini yogic breathing are practices to be very careful with, because there must also be mindful integration of the opening experiences into daily life, without which is the risk of becoming ungrounded, unbalanced or aloof. What you’re looking for is a steady build up of kundalini energy over time, allowing it to progressively flow into density so that you can unravel and integrate it through your 3D reality. Then it becomes the most profoundly rewarding and beneficial influence imaginable.</span></p>
<p><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/sites/default/files/images/Chakra_Balancing_Guide%20%282%29.jpg" width="350" />When Kundalini does start to activate, it can feel like an emotional rollercoaster ride - sometimes you're up, expanded and high, at others, in the depths of density. It can be very destablising and unbalancing. What's needed is a progressive integration. Sometimes you'll need to open up the channels of soul infusion, sometimes you'll need to steady, centre and ground.</p>
<blockquote><p><em>Time grounding in nature can greatly help - connecting to trees for example. Sexual release will most likely help infuse and integrate the energy - especially and including the practice of trantra to infuse energy through the lower vehicles. And when you need to, you can tone the energy down by eating denser foods and also distraction with entertainment might be necessary at times. Deep consciousness bodywork will be important - especially and including dance. <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation">Chakra Attunment Meditation</a></strong> will help channel consciousness into the various bodily vehicles - it's important to regulate that one though, as it can also be highly activational (the same with sexual expression). <strong><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/chakra-opening-and-attunement-download-meditation">The Openhand Bow</a></strong> is great at grounding into and through the density. So a combination of all these things will help integrate the process. NB: be mindful of the processes that activate the strong movements of energy, and those that dampen them where necessary. It's about finding balance, with peaks and troughs, activations and integrations.</em></p></blockquote>
<h3>The miracle of Kundalini</h3>
<p>I've witnessed many people experience the full activation of kundalini through the <a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/contents/courses">Openhand work</a>. When the breakthrough finally happens, it's a very special moment, something you'll treasure your entire life. The soul encased within the lower self, rises up the spine then reconnects higher and lower self in the third eye. Sense of separated self completely vanishes. Your true self emerges, everywhere and nowhere, penetrating the space between the spaces. Crystal clear clarity emerges. You know yourself experientially as the One. There is nothing that can match it.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.openhandweb.org/five_gateways_book_purchase"><img alt="" class="float-image-left" data-entity-type="" data-entity-uuid="" src="https://www.openhandweb.org/files/openhand/images/NEW%205G%202d%20book%20cover.jpg" width="200" /></a></p>
<blockquote><p><i>From now on, you flow eternally as the soul, an individuated expression of the eternal. But most importantly, although you're having this experience of the soul, you still know yourself as the eternal presence that precedes it. You are still the Source - still infinite potential. It's like having your 'cake' and eating it too!</i></p></blockquote>
<p>So I'd encourage all to work with the activation of kundalini to restore attunement and interconnectivity with the universe - our natural state. But we must do so with care, mindfulness and progressive integration into our daily lives. That way, it builds a solid basis through which to flow. We're able to harmonise inner and outer seamlessly.

<p>Your post interested me, for a few reasons.</p>
<p>My experience of kundalini awakening (and I was the average impure type- to some extent) was radical and shattering. You say:</p>
<p>'No you will not be able to proceed your "normal" life like working and being a mother or father once the process starts. There is nothing that is normal once the Kundalini awakens.'</p>
<p>I would say the surrender into the process has enabled me to live a very 'normal' life raising two children and working. The requirement seems to be more about simplifying, opening and coming into alignment. Which is what the openhand approach is all about. I do understand the need to advise others not to push it, but I'm here as testament that you absolutely can when ready move through the process. When it started I used to read posts like yours and spin out into fear. I think it's important to know that when 'ready' the inner teaching will come forth and the right teachers will emerge to support you. Always have faith in that. We live in times when people are awakening very unexpectedly - I feel its time to spread a more positive message about the process. It's the energy of transformation after all. :)</p>

<p>Nice to hear constructive critic from a fellow traveller :)</p>
<p>I did not want to scare people. I meant point out that by forcing or rushing into awakening might bemore harmful than beneficial. Especially by getting initations before you actually can handle it.</p>
<p>It seems that you had you awakening at the right time, when you were prepared for it and ready to let go. The inner work was at a stage that allowed you to embrace the porcess and take the next step.</p>
<p>I am sorry if my post seem to be a bit aggressive. I did not meant to cause more confusion. But after witnessing "awakenings" where the natives were not ready for it, I had an urge to write a few comments on this subject. There are people who are giving these initiations without really giving people the knowledge and support they need.</p>
<p>Once again, this was not meant be an attack against the people on Openhand. I just wanted to highlight the importance of an authentic teacher and guide that will help you thoughout the process.</p>
<p>But everyone is free to do just as they feel.</p>
<p>Wish you all the best <3</p>

<p>Since the level 1 workshop in May I have had various experiences with Kundalini. The most awesome ones during meditation when I have felt the bubbles of energy rising up through the heart centre; heard the roar of waterfalls and thunder; felt the bee-like buzzing throughout my body and heard the whistles of some unseen, gurur/coach. It has not all been straight forward though and cautionary tales are as necessary as the inspiring ones.</p>
<p>I have experienced massive arrhythmia, where my heart has almost knocked me off me feet, such was the strength of the muscle pump. Similarly, I have felt the energy rise through my body but not my central channel and this has caused partial black-outs, nausea and dizziness. </p>
<p>The process is a natural one, but we can help prepare ourselves by activities that increase nerve function and endocrine activity throughout the body. Energy moves best when there are no blockages. Being relaxed, calm, confident, joyful, loving and blissful helps. Practising these states until they become your natural state, increases corresponding hormone levels. Increasing your sensitivity to energy through chi kung or similar also helps moves these hormones to every cell of the body which does give kundalini access. And of course the more intense the emotional state the greater the involvement of kundalini.</p>
<p>Aya/DMT/Ibogaine are consciousness changing, but, I would suggest, offer only temporary changes. Just as shaktipat will not on its own awaken kundalini to a level that can be integrated fully into existence. Yet both can have a place in waking us up. Both can have a place in helping experience our true nature. Both can have a place in making the difference between choosing ignorance or choosing to become the warrior.<br />
Namaste</p>

This is really good and informative article. You said:</p>
<p>"To activate and unleash balanced kundalini, there has to be integration of our spiritual beingness into our physical life." </p>
<p>I used to believe that all will take care of itself once the Kundalini is activated. I thought the transition from the old to the new paradigm would be a just a matter of turning on a switch. And it might be for some, but not for all. I read several articles on Kundalini activation and they seemed to idealize the event, making it a spiritual goal to strive for. Openhand site is the first source that explores this energy in more balanced way. And I'm very grateful for this.</p>

Today I checked out your webpage and the last article I could see was (tadaaa!) this one, again about kundalini. What a coincidence, some might say, but I almost cried when I saw it. I've just finished reading it and it gave me such a relief. I somehow knew that for such an event, one needs to prepare/balance his/her body/mind for it, through different practiced (as you mentioned above) yet sometime kundalini is triggered off by itself, yet (in my opinion) it has to do more with the soul's purpose.

<p>I've been feeling kinda lost and discombobulated about the whole mirror thing. That whatever I attract mirrors my consciousness. So if I feel unworthy of love, for example, I will likely feel unloved by others in my life in regards to how they treat me. But then again, we co-create with others. So if I change my consciousness, it doesn't necessarily mean a loved one will change theirs. So what is the reflection there? I'm feeling that it likely relates to healing the distortion in myself and continuing to observe it in a loved one, but it doesn't trigger me or push any buttons because I've found myself as the One beyond it -- at least in regard to that particular distortion. You've said previously that no-one here in this third dimension is completely free of distortions. If you're fully self-realized as you are, I'm guessing you discern the distortions in others but don't feel them as a reflection of your own distortions, given that you feel yourself as the One and no longer identify with distorted behaviour patterns. </p>
<p>Also, if I'm feeling my own pain when I'm involved with a loved one in pain, am I not feeling both their pain and my own, given we are all One, but not the same, as U2 sings, "We're One but we're not the same." We are each unique expressions of the divine and we hold the tangible intangibility of both Oneness and duality as Trinity says in one of her meditations.</p>
<p>Any light you can shed on confusion would be appreciated. Thank you.</p>
<p>I've switched back to my childhood name, Cathy, since I no longer relate to Catherine that I took on in my 20's. </p>
<p>x Cathy</p>

<p>I might not answer your questions directly, but this is how I feel to respond.</p>
<p>The mirror that you draw to yourself is not strictly a direct mirror - in the sense that they exactly mirror who you are. They can't, because you are unique!</p>
<p>It's a sense that the other is reflecting, not the exactitude.</p>
<p>And in the sense of the mirror, what's most important to take in, is not what that reflection looks like, but what it feels like inside. So you draw someone and it kicks off a particular feeling of some kind of tightness or process. That's the mirroring of which I speak.</p>
<p>But logic can also point the way.</p>
<p>For instance let's say you're with someone, and they don't reflect what you know to be your core values. And they're not evolving along with you. What is it that they're doing? Perhaps they're denying their deeper self. So one might then ask: "what am I denying about my unconscious self?"</p>
<p>But be prepared that it won't be a direct likeness because we are each unique.</p>
<p>On the second part, I observe there is a widespread misunderstanding here about the concept that "we are all One". It's a paradox - we are, and we are not. At the absolute level, where everything literally dissolves into the One, inside yourself, where we've moved beyond all feeling, then yes, we are the One, and there is no separation.</p>
<p>But at the same time, you are being a unique and separate expression. If there was no such relativity, then there could be no experience - no you and me. Because you can only know hot in the presence of cold, up in the presence of down, love in the presence of fear. These are all relativistic experiences.</p>
<p>It's one of the hardest things to master: to hold two, apparently contradictory truths, both at the same time, without needing it to be one way or the other.</p>
<p>It's how you ultimately grasp the formation of reality at all. How could the Big Bang explode outwards if there was nothing outwards in which to expand? It's because reality is a dynamic equilibrium between being and not being, between one and separation. You have both conditions existing in the same space and time together.</p>
<p>It gives the illusion the possibility of feeling real.</p>
<p>Open *OK*</p>

<p>Great comment. This part stuck out to me: "It's a paradox - we are, and we are not."</p>
<p>Individual self-expression is completely necessary for our peace of mind. If we cannot be who we truly are, it is equal to being locked in a jail cell. The jail cell contains the physical body, but an un-self expressed person's body BECOMES the jail cell for the soul. The Eagles had a lyric that went "Most often times it happens we live our lives in chains and we never even knew we had the key". It's from the song Already Gone.</p>

I am LightofLearning, recently experienced a Kundalini Awakening and want to share with you. At first, it was scary. I had no idea what was happening. I felt like I was getting a download of information from the biggest supercomputer in the universe. I couldn't stop talking. All kinds of thoughts and ideas on subjects i never studied in college or grad school started flooding my mind. I started seeing blue lights everywhere.... little tiny flashes during the day, at night, all the time. I was awake from the hours of 3-4AM every night, sitting in a state of bliss, with my whole body buzzing with energy. Sometimes, I went downstairs to write on the computer. My wife and I thought I was going nuts. I couldn't sit still. I lost 4 inches from my waist, 20 pounds, and started exercising vigorously to expel the excess energy. All of the sudden, things started to happen. A man offered me a partnership in a media business. A friend of mine told me about a spiritual guide who specializes in Kundalini Awakenings with whom I am meeting this Saturday. After 8 weeks of a rough ride, everything began to calm down. I felt this connection to my body. Things felt more.... integrated.... like I was really living in there for the first time. Every interaction with people became a chance to be kind to them and listen to their stories. I felt like I had nothing to do. Even at work, the day just glides by. I do my job, smile at everyone, and go home to my wife. It is very blissful. I was told when I was hired that I was going to have the possibility to rise up in the company. (We are a major software company.) The other day, my boss let it slip that they are going with an outside hire for the role I thought I was going to get promoted into. I was upset for a second, but then Kundalini kicked in and I started laughing. This is just God taking care of me. Perhaps the job was not right. Perhaps I would have failed. Or, most likely, the person who will get the job.... it is part of his or her journey and simply not part of mine. So, I found this community and thought I would join and say hello. Please feel free to message me. Kundalini is a fascinating new topic in my life and I would like to study it further. I bought some books and plan on a few sessions with my new spiritual guide, a past life regression, some transpersonal therapy. The self I was 3 months ago would have laughed all this off as completely impractical nonsense. I have seen the light, though, brothers and sisters. It is ALL real: energy fields, God, the universe's power, spirits, angels... the reason I know is I can FEEL them now. And it's not scary at all. It's wonderful. There is a unity for this universe and a divine plan and we are all part of it. What a wonderful place this planet is to be. Louis Armstrong must have had Kundalini when he wrote "What A Wonderful World". So, anyways, I need to get to work now, but please message me with any thoughts on any of the spiritual realm. I would love to discuss with you and learn from my friends who have more experience with this sort of thing. Peace, Love, Light and Joy to all of you.</p>

<p>Yes it's lovely isn't it when kundalini kicks off. Yes it is often earth-shattering, turning the previous reality on it's head.</p>
<p>After the initial phase, what then happens is the inner journey of purification, where kundalini is progressively integrated until it becomes a way of life.</p>
<p>I should also say, to be of assistance, it's pretty clear you've had only a partial kundalini activation. It comes across in how you write and explain - I'm able to feel through the ether. When full activation happens, all sense of separated identity is gone. There is nothing other than the path, and a constant conscious choice in every moment. Lower self is completely integrated into divine higher self.</p>
<p>So I celebrate in your wonderful experience - brilliant. Now comes the integrational part. Which will likely take many years of mastery. </p>
<p>The path itself beckons!</p>
<p>Namaste</p>
<p>Open *OK*</p>

<p>Funny, Open, I am here talking to you.</p>
<p>This has been an 8 year search for me. Going from earning $9 / hour at Sam's Club handing out pizza samples to selling anti-hacking software worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. What my partial awakening tell
